Honors American Government: Categorizing Nations By Government
Directions: You will use the CIA Factbook (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/) to research different forms of government throughout the world.  For each form of government listed, I will expect you to list all nations that should be lumped in with that category of government, as well as possibly answering 1-2 questions for each category with a brief short answer response.  Please note that countries can (and should) be put into multiple categories, whenever necessary.  Be sure to use complete sentences at ALL times.
