It is surrounded by large areas of water. There are 54 countries in Africa, and 14.7% (1.216 billion) of the world's population lives there. It is the continent where the first humans evolved.Africa is now in a bad way. It is by far the poorest continent on Earth and it has a lot of problems that need fixing. It has worse technology, political development, human well-being and economic power. Africa is the least economically developed continent and there are lots of opportunities for quick economic growth that will help improve the lives of African people. Africa’s history is a story of being taken advantage of by European countries in earlier centuries. The political situation that they left behind is not good either. Africa has a lot of natural and human resources and if it can harness them, it will be able to solve its Earth Challenges. THE EARTH CHALLENGESCROP FAILUREAfrica has such hot weather and poor soil that their crops are dying regularly, meaning there is no food to eat. For more information: The problem:Until this Earth Challenge is solved, one of Africa’s farms will not produce any food. Ideas for solving this Earth Challenge:To solve this problem, Africa will need to solve at least two of these problems that are making their crops fail:weather is too hotseeds are low qualitythe ground is too hardthere is a lot of plant disease right1951500-9525-44767500DEBT CRISISAfrican economies have a serious debt problem. They have been borrowing money from other continents and from the World Bank, in order to build infrastructure to improve their economy. However, they have not been able to pay the money back quickly enough.For more information: The problem:Africa must pay $2 billion to the World Bank each dayAfrica must pay $2 billion to Europe each dayAfrica must pay $2 billion to North America each day472349936019200The total debt that Africa owes to each of these countries is $10 billion to each of the World Bank, Europe and North AmericaIdeas for solving this Earth Challenge:will you end up paying back all the money or think up some other way to pay them back?WARLORDSAfrica has many warlords who have taken control of some of the governments’ military units. One of the military units is secretly controlled and financed by the Iranian government (a country in Asia), and another is secretly controlled by a faction who is sympathetic with the aims of the terrorist group “Anonymous”.For more information, here is some examples of African warlords: The problem: One of Africa’s soldiers is controlled by Asia (led by secret powers in Iran)One of Africa’s soldiers is controlled by Anonymous4855210762000-552203-57595300DECOLONISATIONUntil about 1950, a lot of countries in Africa had been conquered by European countries and were still controlled by them. This has meant that a lot of Africa’s natural wealth (like gold, diamonds etc.) has been stolen by Europe. It also means that African countries have not been able to develop as much technology as some richer continents. For more information: The problem:Continued corruption means that all African resource production is reduced by 25% (steel, energy, food)Ideas for solving this Earth Challenge:Africa wants Europe to give it these things to pay it back for the time that it was under colonised European rule:$50 billion0-4937760049314108826500Europe must build Africa one mine and one farmSOUTH AMERICAN CHEAP COMPUTERSAfrica is poor and so it buys its computers from South America instead of from other more expensive continents. Recently though, South America has raised the prices of its computers to the same as they are everywhere else. This makes it hard for Africa to buy these important pieces of technology.The problem: Africa must give $5B to South America each turn for the extra computer costs until it deals with this problemIdeas for solving this Earth Challenge:48553624879400How can Africa get the computers it needs without paying this extra money?-616688-70174900DROUGHTDrought is when there is lower than average rainfall for a long time. Sub-Saharan Africa is experiencing an extreme drought. It is hurting farming and making famine conditions in Africa.The problem:Africa’s drought is producing a famine.

It is in the northern hemisphere. Asia is connected to Europe in the west. Together, Asia and Europe are called Eurasia. Some of the oldest human civilizations began in Asia, such as Sumer, China, and India. Asia was also home to some large empires such as the Persian Empire, the Mongol Empire, and the Ming Empire.It has many different cultures that make it up. It has started to become very powerful in modern times, and is beginning to take over from North America as the world’s most powerful continent. It has always had a large population but it is now growing quickly. As its economy has improved, lots of people have been brought out of poverty, but it has also had a negative effect on the economy of Asia. Asia is a continent full of promise but also full of difficult issues.THE EARTH CHALLENGESTHE PALESTINIANSIsrael and the Palestinians are both fighting over a piece of land – it is the piece of land in the Southwest of Asia, just beside its border with Africa. Palestine needs Asia to give up some of its land so that the Palestinians can have a homeland. In the meantime, as Israel is part of Asia, it continues to fight the Palestinians.The problem:Each day, Palestine and Asia must have a battle of one land unit (Palestine) vs. two land units (Asia) until they come to an agreementAsia must also have two battleships stationed beside the Palestinian area so they cannot smuggle any more weapons into the area they controlIdeas for solving this Earth Challenge: 4851400146262right14504600this problem can only be solved when the Palestinians have their homeland set up as an independent country. -6927-44334500CONFRONTATION WITH NORTH AMERICANorth America has been the strongest military power in the world for the past 100 years. Now Asia is becoming increasing powerful and North America is not happy about it. They seem like they are going to fight unless they come to some kind of arrangement. An important part of their confrontation is that they are both paranoid that the other side is going to use their large military.The problem:5 soldiers, 1 battleship and 1 jet from both Asia and North America are fighting. They must fight to the death until this challenge is solved.4785360200025right19604400Ideas for solving this Earth Challenge:Neither side will be willing to negotiate peace unless they have equal total military forces. You can’t just say “we declare peace”. You need to explain why the two continents want peace.FARMING AFRICAWhen Asia developed so quickly in the twentieth century, it destroyed a lot of its land in the process. A lot of its farmland is now too polluted to use. It has now started buying land in Africa from corrupt officials and building farms there. This is stopping Africa from being able to build farms on its own land.For more information: The problem:Asia must build a farm in Africa every day, up to 4 farmsFor every two farms that Asia builds in Africa, Africa loses one farmright20383500Ideas for solving this Earth Challenge: Asia must decontaminate its own land so it can use it for farming. The cost will be at least $40B, depending on what method they use. .-28576-51655000ARMENIAN GENOCIDEIn 1915 about 1.5 million Armenians (a place in modern day Turkey, in Asia) were murdered. The modern country of Turkey now wants to consider itself part of Europe, but it refuses to recognise that this massacre ever happened. Until this happens, Asia puts sanctions on Europe.For more information: The problem:Asia loses $5B per day (to the Vault) because of the reduction in their economy due to the sanctions they have against EuropeEurope loses $5B per day (to the Vault) because of the reduction in their economy due to the sanctions they have against Asiaright15023000Ideas for solving this Earth Challenge: the modern Armenians (in Asia) want recognition of the massacre and they want a meaningful memorial site createdHACKINGNorth America has accused Asia of hacking into their government’s computers. Asia thinks that it is secretly Anonymous doing it. Until this gets sorted, North America will not trade with Asia.For more information: The problem:Asia loses 15M tons of steel, 10GW of energy and 50M tons of food per day because it can’t trade with North AmericaIdeas for solving this Earth Challenge:482287517025600how can Asia convince North America that they aren’t doing the hacking? Can they find out who is really doing it?-74428-64858600TSUNAMIThere was a huge undersea earthquake in the Indian Ocean. It resulted in a tsunami. A tsunami is a series of massive waves. It has wiped out whole communities in Banda Aceh in Indonesia. The area is devastated, and disease has broken out in the area, which has no electricity, fresh water or food supplies.The problem:The tsunami is destroying buildings.

Oceania is the least powerful of the continents in EarthCraft to start with, but it still has a lot of influence and can make a big difference in the game. Oceania was originally populated by indigenous people, and then lots of people from Europe colonised the area. Oceania is very spread out continent with a small population. THE EARTH CHALLENGESSPACE JUNKThere are thousands of pieces of space junk orbiting Earth. Old satellites that have stopped working are just left to orbit Earth rather than being disposed of safely. This means there is a lot of space junk that might crash into the International Space Station or satellites at any time. The United Nations has said this space junk must removed. The best place to allow it to crash land is in the desert in Australia.For more information: The problem:Every day, a big load of space junk crashes into Australia.

A few centuries ago, settlers from Europe started arriving and colonised the land in Oceania. Unfortunately, they took this land from the indigenous cultures and in many cases killed them (on purpose or by accident). This has mean that in a lot of countries in Oceania there is a division between indigenous people and the descendants of the colonisers. Also, the indigenous people say that the resources in the land, such as steel, belong to them, and they are taking steps to stop the government mining it.For more information: .The problem:Indigenous groups are taking the government to court to say that they are owed some of the money from the mines that have been set up on land that was previously owned by them. Until this court case has been dealt with, Oceania’s mines will only produce half the normal steelIdeas for solving this Earth Challenge: how are you going to pay back the indigenous people for what was stolen with them?

It has been the most powerful continent on Earth for the last 100 years or so. Now other continents, especially Asia, are becoming more equal with North America. North America has a very advanced economy, but this might not last forever. Social problems are making life difficult in North America. It also has enemies in other continents because of its warlike past, particularly in South America and Asia. North America will need to learn how to live without being the strongest continent if it is to have a future.left-37994900THE EARTH CHALLENGESNUCLEAR MELTDOWNNorth America gets 10 gigawatts of its energy from nuclear power. However, a nuclear power plant on the eastern coast of North America has gone into meltdown.

The nuclear waste coming out of the power plant will spoil 10% of all food in the world each day from day 3 onwards if it is not dealt with.North America cannot get its electricity from nuclear power any more as people are scared there will be another meltdown. This means North America must pay $5B per day to Asia to buy natural gas to burn to use as electricity.Ideas for solving this Earth Challenge:right8942200North America must somehow stop it from leaking radiation.

It has a troubled history, with wars of independence against the Europeans who colonised it, and against its powerful and war-hungry northern neighbours in North America. South America is a large continent with a mixture of indigenous people and descendants of European colonists, mostly from Spain and Portugal. It has a lot of social problems like crime, corrupt politicians and weak economies. South America has a lot of potential but it is not being used well as it could be. THE EARTH CHALLENGESREDUCED RIVER FLOWS A lot of the electricity in South America is produced from hydroelectricity, where electricity is created by water falling over a turbine. The Amazon River, the longest and most important river in South America, is where a lot of this electricity is created. Unfortunately, lots of poor farmers have been moving into the Amazon rainforest and cutting it down to start farms on. They have been diverting the water from the Amazon River to use for farming. Now there isn’t enough water flowing into the hydroelectric power plants at the end of the river.The problem: Not enough electricity generation means that South America’s economy cannot run properly.Each day, South America must choose to eitherlose $15B orlose 20 gigawatts of energyIdeas for solving this Earth Challenge: Is there some other way that South America can produce electricity?485203533591500right70230031898-58479100DEFORESTATIONThe Amazon Rainforest is a very important forest for the health of the planet. There are so many trees in the forest that it soaks up a lot of carbon dioxide pollution and produces lots of oxygen for animals and humans to breathe. Without it, the climate will heat up a lot and people will suffer more from pollution. Poor people from South America are cutting down the rainforest and turning it into farms because they have run out of land to farm elsewhere.For more information: The problem:485140048739100South America is being forced to pay the UN $5B every day because they are destroying a forest that is important for the whole world.

It was created to promote world peace. The United Nations usually gets its funding from all the continents in the world all paying some money each (like a tax). Its main goals are to promote peace, enhance the economies of the world, improve social wellbeing in all continents, promote international justice (it has an international court where continents can be taken to court), help the poor, and promote culture worldwide.DUTIESThe UN has very important duties. Log any negotiations or treatiesAll international treaties must be given to the UN after they have been written up, agreed to and signed by all the people necessary.

However, Europe has put a 10% tariff (like an extra tax on products coming in to your economy) on goods from Oceania. This means that Oceania don’t make good money from selling their products to Europe any more. There has been an incident on the oceans. A battleship from Oceania was escorting farm product shipments to Europe and was going to try and force Europe to buy them without the tariff. Instead, Europe has sent a battleship to destroy it.For more information: The problem:Oceania and Europe are fighting a war with battleships.

It has also been cutting down forests to make cities bigger and make more room for farmland. This has meant a lot of species are going extinct. One species is needed for farming to continue: bees. Bees pollinate plants. Without bees, there will not be any new plants to farm. Bees have been killed in large numbers because most farmers use pesticides to kill bugs that also accidentally kill bees.For more information: The problem: 474091025786800The lack of bees is impacting Europe’s farms.

The area is important for a lot of groups because it is strategically placed near three continents – Africa, Asia and Europe. It is officially part of the continent of Asia, but some people call this area the “Middle East”. Palestine is the historical homeland of the people now known as the Palestinians. It is also the historical homeland of some other peoples. The Jewish people now have a country called Israel which is just beside Palestine. Israel is also in Asia. Palestine is a sacred place for three different religions – Christianity, Islam and Judaism. The Palestinians are a group of Muslim Arab people who have been living in the area for centuries. In the twentieth century, some of their land was used to create the country called Israel, and the two groups have been in conflict ever since. Sometimes, Israel builds houses on what the Palestinians say is their land. Sometimes the Palestinians fire bombs into Israel. The conflict continues… Some information about it can be found here: THE EARTH CHALLENGESFINDING A HOMELAND514604053911500The main goal for the Palestinians in EarthCraft is to find a homeland that they can live in forever without worrying about another country taking over their land or attacking them. They want an official country called “Palestine” to be set up in this area. They are a very poor people and have often looked to other continents to help them with money for their people to survive. The Palestinians do not currently have enough farmland to feed their people, so this must be fixed straight away.

Palestine is losing this war because Israel has many more military units and a much stronger and larger economy. The problem:Each day, Palestine and Asia must have a battle of one soldier (Palestine) vs. two soldiers (Asia) until they come to an agreement. Ideas for solving this Earth Challenge:Negotiate a ceasefire between the Palestinians and IsraelRemember that for Palestine to have a secure homeland they need one land unit, one sea unit and one air unit, so if they lose their one current land unit in war, they will need to train another one. 47066208699500-6667515938500EXTREMISMAs well as the war, a small group of Palestinians are unhappy about the failed attempts to make peace and create a homeland. They do not think that peace negotiations will work, and so they are instead waging another war, a guerrilla war (a war where one side is just a small group of soldiers) against Israel. For more information: 4762548162979300The problem:Palestinian extremists will not allow a ceasefire with Israel. If Palestine loses all its military units, the extremists will train another unit (for free) and the war with Israel (controlled by Asia) will continue.Every day roll 1D6.
