Research Paper (Policy Brief Format)
Congratulations! You have been appointed by the President as the new United States Ambassador to the United Nations.

Choose one of the five regions listed at the United Nations statistical website. Once you’ve selected your region, choose two countries other than the United States. Some regions will have more than two candidates and some regions have more seats than nominees. For the purposes of this assignment, however, you are to assume that the two nations you select are competing for a single opening in their region.
