Bolivia Nicaragua Guyana
Guatemala Virgin Islands Brazil
Chile Cuba

We chose Brazil because it has so much to offer. It has big cities located near coastlines for exporting produced goods and to build near those cities we would not have to destroy natural resources or wildlife. Brazil's literacy rate and high amount of employees makes it hard not to choose Brazil.

We think that the only other country that would actually have a chance is Chile, but because of the Andes Mountains it would be hard to build and live there. Cuba was too unfriendly, Guatemala had a bad literacy rate, Bolivia was not located near any transportation sources, Nicaragua had a poor literacy rate as well as the Virgin Islands, plus the Virgin Islands cannot support themselves, and Guyana had a poor amount of employees.
