Tade Rela

** Abbreviation: TR **
===** Background Info: In 1818, Tade Rela was discovered by a European, not knowing that there were already inhabitants on the land. The European perceived the fact that there were natural resources throughout the country such as farmland, timber and other things. That information led the European to go back and tell his people about the land. Soon, the Europeans tried to take over the land and started a war. A man named Michael Jackson Rela became very powerful during the war. He led the people to another state of mind. The war lasted for 8 months and the native Relians won with victory. Several years later, the population of that area increased tremendously. It was time for rules and regulations or some form of government. The people turned right to Michael Jackson Rela. He soon became the leader of the country. **=== ===** ﻿ @http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dwii7yc97bw ** === =*Size of Brazil= =*Climate- Temperate Decidious Forest; There are four yearly seasons: Winter, spring, summer, and autumn; It's cold in the winter, hot in the summer= =*Terrain- Flat, small hills, Many Trees, Few Mountain Ranges= =*Natural Resources- Timber, Farmland, Clean Water = = = =*Arable Land- 50%= =*Environmental Issues- Population Growth, Pollution = ==

 * Overview of economic system and current economic challenges (provide clear description
 * ** The economic system of Tade Rela is growing very slowly. It has almost reached its peek and will soon be continuing at a decrease as of how the data is looking. The economy is based simply off of capitalism and it is not fully a free market system. Private businesses and firms make most decisions. Tade Relia strives to make a firm honor to their commitment of being a free country. Ever since the Tade Relians defeated the Europeans for their land, they have and always will be ready to fight for their freedom and intend to keep it. However, one of the biggest challenges of Tade Rela’s economy is the fact that the population is increasing tremendously as time goes on. The more people there is, the more problems Tade Rela will have. The unemployment rate will increase, pollution will take over and it won’t be good. **
