I need help with this: "This is a nation in South Asia. One of South Asia's three major rivers is in this country. The country has two climate regions, arid and semi-arid and the dominant religion in this country is Islam." Which country could it be? Thanks -MC

  I see only two countries that it could be. http://www.islamic-world.net/countries/index.htm Note that it can't be an island nation.

  It either begins with an A or a B. Check your map to see which of those countries in southern Asia has a major river in it.

  Algeria is in Africa. Bahrain is in western Asia, and Azerbaijan is in central Asia. Which of those countries is included in southern Asia? Which has a major river? Come on, MC, you can find the answer.

  Only one of these maps shows a major river -- one that everyone should have heard of. http://www.lonelyplanet.com/maps/asia/afghanistan/ http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/asia/lgcolor/bdcolor.htm
