Regional Data File Activities
For this activity you will create a chart that compares related information about countries in Eastern
Europe and then answer the questions. Using the Regional Data File on page 268–271 of the text,
look up the import/export rate, the number of televisions, and the number of passenger cars for the
countries of Albania, Croatia, and Hungary. Then put this information in a chart format.
For example, a chart showing this data for Germany in Western Europe would look like the
one below.
