 * Country Name:** Our country name is Pradaria because it is Portuguese for grassland. Since our country's biome is a grassland praire we thought that it would be fitting that our country would relate to that biome. Pradaria was perfect because it related to that theme and it means something that is relevant to our country.


 * Flag:** In the center of our flag is our national symbol and around it are the colors orange, green, and red in a stripe formation. The color green is for the plants that inhabit our area and our ability to grow food. The orange is for our abundant and most heavily relied upon national animal the swift fox. Finally the red is in the middle since it symbolizes power and it's in the middle to show that our country has division of power that is equal among our group.


 * Capitol Name:** Raposa is our capitol city. This is because it comes from the Portuguese word for fox. Since our country name is from Portuguese and our national animal is the fox we thought that it would only be fit to play off of that theme so we chose Raposa.


 * National Motto/Slogan:** "To grow is to know" is our national slogan since we are able to grow vast amounts of plants and other products that will be able to help us in the future. The purple coneflower for example can help treat bacterial infections, bee stings, and possibly even tumors.


 * National Animal:** The swift fox is our national animal because it is abundant in our country since it is a prairie. It is a very versitile animal since it can easily adapt to change and can maintain a stable population. Ontop of that, the swift fox is very important to our country since we can use it's fur as a tool against our cold winters. This fur can also be a suficient trading item that can increase our country's economy.


 * National Symbol:** Our national symbol is in a circular "ring" that has our motto around the edges. In the middle is our national animal, the swift fox, carrying healing plants in it's mouth. This symbol embodies all the elements of our country while combining the climate and the resources that we have within it. The Fox also representes the swiftness and abiliy to adapt to our climate and the way of our life.
