**The Borka Simulation: Creating a New Nation**
Welcome to the home page for your region! This site will function as your questionnaire. It is here that you will develop a better understanding of your region. The pages of the questionnaire are listed under navigation in the column to the left. Each page is made up of a number of questions. By completing these questions, you will explore your region's cultural, economic, and social heritage. You will also identify and describe the "systems of institutions that make, enforce and interpret laws" for your region, i.e. its government! On other pages you will explore the goals you wish to achieve through unification with the other regions. Finally, it is also here where you will identify the ideal structure for the new government and what the rights and responsibilities of its citizens should be. The objectives for the questionnaire are:
 * To answer all of the questions; To fully develop each answer and enhace it with the kind of detail that keeps the reader reading;
 * To answer each question in a manner that reflects and/or develops the culture of your region;
 * To inject voice into your responses; To write in a tone that is natural, adds interest, and is appropriate for the purpose and audience;
 * To demonstrate your understanding of the government systems terminology by using it widely and correctly;
 * To use effectively the mechanics and conventions of standard written English; To show engagement in the writing by process.

Grading:
 * There will be a single grade given for the completed questionnaire.
 * Your percentage of this grade will be determined based on your participation in the questionnaire's completion.
 * Your participation will be determined by the extent and number of edits listed under the "History" tab, and/or the content and number of messages posted under the "Discussion" tab.
 * **WARNING!** If there is no evidence that you ever accessed and edited the wiki, you will receive a zero.
