Nation+Builder+Project

=In this simulation, you will play the role of alien archeologists sent out to research documents left behind by dead civilizations of other planets. In your travels, you discover a planet once called Earth. Your computer guides you to ancient ruins of a once great capital city formerly known as Washington, D.C. You put on your atmospheric suits because you know this civilization suffered some kind of major catastrophe and you are not sure if the outside air is breathable. You stumble upon the United States of America's National Library once known as the Library of Congress. You begin to excavate several documents and pamphlets, but do not yet quite understand their importance...=
 * US Government Project 2: __Nation Builder__**

__**Problem:**__ The purpose of your archeology mission is to help a group of young politicians who have just secured a victory for your nation on your home planet. Your nation has just defeated a major imperial country (like how the United States defeated Great Britain in 1784 and in the War of 1812) and have just been recognized as an independent nation by your allies (as United States was recognized by France and Spain), who are major rivals of the imperial nation that you have beaten. Suddenly reality has set in that you have to go about creating a new centralized form of government. You plan to make use of the documents you found: //Declaration of Independence//, //US Constitution//, //Bill of Rights//, John Locke's //Natural Rights//, //Articles of Confederation//, the //Federalist Papers// and //Common Sense////. To work more efficiently, you divide yourselves into groups of 2-3.//
