An atlas can show where income is high. Explaining why is your job. Follow real country data, find the case that unsettles your first idea, and put institutions and geography under pressure. Leave with an explanation, a rival and a question worth investigating.
No advance reading or economics background required. Country records, research summaries and definitions are supplied. For Class uses the Full route; For Fun offers Core or Full with optional writing.
Assess the claim and scope, an intermediate process, relevant numerical and research evidence, honest limits, a credible rival and meaningful next test, a conditional action with obstacles and distributional implications, and evidence-based reconsideration. Different substantive positions can be defensible. Software checks recorded components and minimum writing, not the quality of the argument.
For Class requires Full and the final report action before assignment printing or downloads. Class responses are typed in the activity. A completion check is a record of work; written reasoning needs a human reader.
The HTML game works offline. Guide and original-source links use the internet. Progress backups restore work; reports are for reading and submission.
Keep the claim within the evidence.
The twelve-country sample is purposive, not globally representative. GDP per person is an output average, not household income or equality. Country associations are not causal estimates. The historical and malaria records retain their own dates, populations and outcomes; neither yields a share of present-day national income gaps. Cover art is a conceptual invented landscape.
