 * When considering who your country would naturally form alliances with, keep in mind the following characteristics of your nation: **


 * Geographical Neighbors
 * Countries within your region (not necessarily continent)
 * Major Trading Partners
 * Members of the same Intergovernmental organizations as you, for example:
 * o European Union
 * o NATO
 * o African Union
 * o League of Arab States
 * Countries with similar governmental structures, for example:
 * o Democracies
