I HATE THIS

 JON ALSPACH- Syria's exact location is 35 degrees north, 38 degrees east. It is mostly desert, desert plateau and mountains in western Syria. and has a thin coastal plain. Their economy is based on industry and agriculture, which consists of car assembly, wheat, barley, beverages, tobacco, eggs, poultry, cotton, textiles, olives, beef, milk, phosphate rock mining, and even more. The government has all of the control over the economy, which makes it a command economy. Syria's most valuable resource would definitely be oil. The population in Syria is about 20 M, which are mostly Muslim (74%). There is about a 1:1 ratio of men to women in the Syrian military. I can't think of a civilization other than Kacey's, but I think ancient Sparta is somewhat like Syria. Sparta's government was strict with its workers and had a similar rocky landscape.

**__Kacey Brown's Addition__** 1. Location both relative and absolute. 2. Determine the economic system and support your decision. 3. Most valuable resouce 4. Standard of living. 5. An additional interesting fact about this country 6. Connect this country to an ancient civilization that existed in the area - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1. The location of Syria is by the Mediterranean Sea, surrounded by Lebanon and Turkey. The absolute location of this country is 35 00'N and 38 00'E in the Middle East. 2. Their economic system is ran by the government. In my opinion, it is not going well. They rose the price on oil, which started declining oil production. In the past few years, they cut lending interest rates, opened private banks, consolidating all of the multiple exchange rates, raising prices on subsidized iteams, and establishing the Damascus Stock Exchange, which began in 2009. Then the president allowed the Central Bank to issue Treasury bills and bonds for the economy's debt. There is a big use of agriculture, which needs a lot of water. Unfortunately, they have a problem with water pollution. There is a rapid population growth, and it also states high unemployment and inflation! That works out well! Not. 3. Their most valuable resource does not seem to be stated directly, but I'm guessing it is their water works because they're surrounded by everthing agriculture. Or oil. 4. Nowhere does it really state Syria's standard of living on the CIA Factbook. 5. I found it pretty interesting that the United States do not trade with Syria, but they "somewhat" understand English. And I was also surprised that 10% of this country was Christian. 6. I'm guessing this country can compare with Ancient Egypt. The similarity is they were both ruled by the government and not the people, and they were very involved in their agriculture.
