 Statement:
Following the decision of country G, which was taken a decade ago to control pollution, country N has also decided to put a cap on the number of cars in the country. So, now if someone in country N wants to buy a car, they have to wait until someone in country N sells their car, or a car is not registered as completely non-functional and destroyed (scrap).
Assumptions:
I. Other transportation options in country N are sufficient to meet the needs of the country's non-car-owning population.
II.This decision is most likely to be successful in controlling pollution in country G.
