Write a paper of approximately 500 words on the content you would include on an imaginary website featuring the Pacific Rim country you chose in Week 1. Please note that you will NOT be creating an actual website. Your paper should include text, photos, maps, links to videos, and live links to outside resources that may be valuable to future visitors to the country. Your paper should include the following elements:
A comprehensive description of your chosen country, including information on the following components:
Historical events that shaped the country
Geographical landmarks and important geographical features (including features that helped shape the country's culture and/or industry)
The economic situation, including any major trade partners and/or influencing countries
Major and minor religions, and a description of how those religions have changed over the history of the country and how the religions have shaped the political and economic landscape.
The overall cultural (including art and architecture) and the political landscape
Since your paper will focus on content that you would include on an imaginary website about your Pacific Rim country, be sure to include photos for each of the main areas specified above. You also can include links to outside resources such as video as well.
Be sure to provide proper citation references for information that is not your original idea or common knowledge. If you are unsure what common knowledge is or how to cite or reference material, be sure to review the West Writing Style Handbook and the very helpful resources such as the plagiarism video and the Reference and Citation Generator in the West Writing Center.

Format your paper using the West Writing Style Handbook guidelines.
Include a minimum of five sources, which may consist of readings from the University Library, your text, and other selections.
Please note that citations and references are required for videos, photographs taken by others, and other content that is not your own idea or common knowledge.
