-they are making 36 industries produce the amount of pollution that was recorded back in 1990, within the next five. Russia says that it will take until 2020 to get the pollution back down to those levels. All of this was addressed when they met with the countries leaders.

IMR = Infant Mortality Rate NIR = Natural Increase Rate This country has a HDI ranking is 38 at .869. My country has the HDI is 67th at .802. The GDP for Argentina is $13 thousand, which is just under the $14.6 thousand that Russia uses. While in the two different countries, our some of our jobs are the same like fishing, mining, oil/natural gas for primary. They have cattle/ranching while we have lumber. Their secondary jobs may consist of motor vehicles, auto parts, steel and textiles. Our secondary are oil and coal refining and machine building (planes, shipbuilding). They use hydroelectricity, construction, tourism, and transportation for their highest jobs. The only thing that Russia doesn't use is hydroelectricity. Between the two the raw materials consist of oil, coal, electronics, timber, livestock, fish, music, iron, and steel. In Argentina the education is free, but not many finish high school. In Russia anyone over the age of 15 can read and write, about 98% is educated. The literacy rate for Argentina is 79.6%, for Russia 99.7%.

HDI for Spain is 13 at ,949. While Russia is seating 67th at .802. The GDP for Russia is $14.6 thousand and Spain is $33.7 thousand. The jobs for Spain are farming, natural gas production, fishing, shipbuilding, electricity production, selling pharmaceuticals, doctors and lawyers. Russia is lumber, coal refining, machine building, construction, tourism, transportation. Raw materials for both are coal, oil, iron, lead, inc, arable land. The IMR is 4.31 deaths for Spain, Russia is 11.06 deaths. The literacy rate is 99.7% for Russia and 97.9% for Spain.

Compared to Russia, Germany is seating 22nd at .935. With the GDP of $29,461 that it uses. The jobs for Germany consist on farming, salt and coal mining, harvesting, iron production, automobile and alcohol manufacturing, teacher, doctor, dentistry, government, and banking. Russia's are agriculture, mining, fishing, lumber, machine building, oil and coal refining, teacher, banking. Raw materials for Russia are coal refining, machine building, lumber, coal, steel, and iron. While Germany is coal, iron ore, salt, uranium, and timber. IMR is 4.08 for Germany and 11.06 in Russia.

 * Germany**

Russia is an okay country, they have resources and the government to keep the country running. they have a good literacy rate and and bad infant mortality rate. the jobs are doing fine, but is not high up on the best educated list. Russia has the raw materials to produce and make money. They have the technology to make equipment and to make the materials the country needs. They also have the technology to use for biotechnology, just like most of the world today. I The only thing that it has to import is goods, meaning food. It doesn't have much land to farm and feed the country.
 * now-and-50 years from now**
 * Now**

In 50 years, I could see Russia under what it is now. They will find a new energy source for the country but they will still need to be importing food for the country. Not a lot but will still need some. They will find a away to produce as much food as possible but will not be able to feed the whole country. They will be one of he world's superpowers still. They will have a low IMR and a high life expectancy rate. With the way technology is going the country will be high up on the list for most educated. I do think that Russia will be just ahead of everyone else when it comes to DNA and cells (biotechnology). Sometime in the next 50 years I think that Russia will have a fall, kinda like the Great Depression. But they will get themselves back on track with world and continue to be a superpower.
