GEORGIA
There are so many countries I could have chosen to research; however, I have always
been interested in visiting Georgia. Georgia is a very interested place to go from what I seen and
heard. They say you can do a lot of fun things down there like Disney World one of my favorite
places to go.

GOVERNMENT
Georgia, the thirteenth British colony to be created, was chartered by King George in
1732 and put under the governance of twenty one trustees. The trustees adopted the Latin
motto Non sibi sed allis as they crafted rules and regulations to shape the colony into a
utopia where here would be no social classes and colonists would succeed by their own
efforts and hard work.

LOCATION
Georgia is located in the Southern United States, bordered by Tennessee and
North Carolina to the north, South Carolina to northeast, Florida to the south, and
Alabama to the west.
TOURISM-what can visitors do if they visit this country?
There are a lot of things that you can do in Georgia. Atlanta offers tons of fun for
families, business professionals and everyone in between. There are so many things to do like
family friendly attractions and history, to outdoor-adventures.
