We the people of Algeria have a strong executive president, president Abdelaziz Bouteflika. Our president has 5 years in his spot and our prime minister is Ahmed Ouyahia. In our parliament house 389 may be seated for National Assembly. Our upper house is the National Council. They hold seat for a six year term. Voting age here is 18. As we go to compare this to the U.S. of A. We have our president that can run for a two year term for up to eight lovely years in the white house. We as well have two lower branches below the government. Although our branches have a few different ways/names. The U.S. calls their lower branches the Legislative and Judical branch compared to our National Assembly and National Council. Hey did you know that Algeria is almost three and a half times bigger then Texas and the second largest country?? It's true. About 90% of our population lives in the Northern coast compared to America's 80% live in the Metropolitan areas, and that the U.S. is the forth biggest. We the people of Algeria wash our hands and say "Bismi Allah" also meaning the name of god before eating. American's normally stand 2feet apart when they speak to each other. The capital of America is Washington, D.C. as the capital of Algeria is Algiers. Time difference is a biggy for it is 4:44am in my country of Algeria as D.C. is 10:49pm. Do you want to know where you can find me on the map??!? Well I will tell you. My (Algeria) latitude is 38.53 and my longitude is -77.02 as you can find D.C. on the Latitude of 36.47 and the longitude of 2.03. Our per square mile is 919,590 in Algeria with the population of 34,586,184 (38 per square mile) compared to American as the square mile of 3,794,100 and the population of 310,232,863 (71-72 per square mile). Alert! Alert! Alert! Adults of the U.S. are readers! Yes, according to CulterGrams a male and female in the U.S. have the literacy rate of 99% each! Compared to our place of Algeria who only have the literacy rate of 84% male and 66% female may read. As our babies are more sickly for us losing infants mortality 28 death per 1,000 born as U.S. has more health for only losing every 6 out of 1,000 infants. American's live longer to...Not fair...They have the live expectancy of age 77 for male and 81 for female as we die at the age of 71 male and 74 female. Can you guess what we produce? Take a guess?... Ok well here it is our main export is crude oil, petroleum products, and natural gases. With four gas depoists we (Algeria) holds 3% of the world's total reserves. We have a quarter of labor force although our food is not as well as we wish to be. Herding is done in the populated desert region. Light industry, food processing, mining (iron, phosphates, lead, and zinc.) are important to the economy. Most Algerians have minimum income that has been caused from inflation, high unemployment, political strike, and withdrawal of different countries. With our currency (monetary unit) is Algerian dinar (Algeria) as American dollar's is U.S. dollars. We speak the language of Arabic as another national language spoken is Imazighen. French is also the primary language for besiness before 1992 but the language is slightly less used now of days. Arabic mixes French and Amazigh words with their owns. The standard Arabic is used for schools, media, and government. 99% of people have the religion of Sunni Muslim as we worship on Friday's here in Algeria. Women and men practice at different places and pray five times a day. As the last 1% is Christians or Jews. OUR INDEPENDANCE! We started this war in 1954-1962 on July 3 declaired by french president Charles De Gaulle. As this war even started to be from Algeria tired of being treated like second-rate people. Between Napoleon's downfall in 1815-1830 our monarchy was at a huge crisis. We were weak in every place.(Military, politically, economically,etc). Military by lack of training, politically by weak government, and economically by lack of income. November 1, 1954 All Saints Day was launched off. As FLN maquisards sent out attacks on Algeria against military grounds, police, warehouses, facilities, and utilities. Quoted from French inister of interior said "The only possible negotiation is war." As for November 12 was declared for a National Assembly. Their differences were settled. ** The three things in common with the U.S. are we believe in a lovely national anthems. America's is called "I Pledge a Legence" as ours is called "The Pledge". As we also have the government situation of branches. Although they may be named different we still have the same amount. As for final thing in common is that we both have a star symbol on our flag. ** ** The three things that we differ in common are that the U.S. life expectancy we tend to live from one another. American's tend to live longer than Algerian's. The languages we speak are quite different as well. American's may teach French, Italian, Spanish, and etc. although America's main tongue is plain English. Compared to Algeria tongue as Arabic. Our final difference is that American's worthship the god on a Sunday as we worthship the god on Fridays. **
