    Maybe not what you're looking for, but I did build a semester-long online course, initially designed to meet the 'Citizenship of the World' merit badge for boy scouts and then expanded a bit. Students learn about every country in the world (quiz on flags, foods, costume, etc.), different constitutions, biggest exporters of various products, how countries are represented overseas, how they interact, global organizations such as the UN, the Red Cross, and so on. If you're interested, I could make the course available for you to teach. Since there are some team projects, though, there would need to be at least four students in the class. (No textbook is needed; all material can be accessed online.)
