==<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">It is almost impossoble for us to grow commercial crops because of are harsh climate. We are planning to domesticate yaks and try to start a fishing farm. We are going to sustain are people by being meat eaters and eating the berries and moss. ==

==<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Since we are way up north it would be very hard for us to have large industries and factories because of this we have very little pollution. The only thing we would have to worry about is over fishing and over hunting but other then that we are fine. ==
