As the Economist, your main job will be to inform others of the economic system and function of your country to choice. You will need to be sure to cover: the economic system of your country, the type of currency used, the major industries within your country, the major imports and exports, and an economic "hot topic" for your country. Remember: start with the links! DO NOT simply Google information as this will take much longer and could produce some very suspicious findings!
