Schwiiz - Mir Sind Am Wäg

Switzerland is a federal, democratic state in Central Europe. It borders Germany to the north, Austria and Liechtenstein to the east, Italy to the south and France to the west.

Switzerland has a population of just over 9 million people living in an area of ​​just under 41,300 square kilometers. The state is one of the most densely populated states in Europe, with the population concentrated in the Mittelland, the basin between the Jura and the Alps, and in southern Ticino. The eight largest cities and economic centers are Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Lausanne, Bern, Winterthur, Lucerne and St. Gallen.

The state has a share in three large language areas: German in German-speaking Switzerland, French in French-speaking Switzerland (Suisse romande, Western Switzerland, Welschschweiz) and Italian in Italian-speaking Switzerland; the fourth language area is Romansh (in parts of the canton of Graubünden). German, French, Italian and Romansh are the official languages ​​of Switzerland, the first three being the official languages ​​of the federal government. In order not to favor any one language, the country code is "CH", the abbreviation of the Latin term Confoederatio Helvetica.

Federated States of Micronesia (Fān Iten Chuuk) - Iwe Fansoun

Micronesia (from ancient Greek μικρός mikros "small" and νῆσοι nēsoi "islands", i.e. "Small Islands") is an island region in the western Pacific Ocean. The national territory covers only part of the island territory of Micronesia.

Micronesians refers to the inhabitants of Micronesia in Oceania.

They are closely related to the Polynesians, although the latter have darker skin.

Their culture is strongly influenced by surrounding cultures. In the east, one finds a more Polynesian culture (with chieftaincy), and in the west, a more Melanesian-Indonesian-influenced culture with chieftaincy without nobility, with the Marianas being an exception.

Today, many different ethnic groups make up the inhabitants of Micronesia, but they are all descendants of the Micronesian culture and still belong to it. The Micronesian culture was one of the last original cultures of the region to emerge. It emerged from a mixture of Melanesian, Polynesian, and Filipino cultures. A good example are the Yapese, who, on the one hand, were settled from the area around Malaysia and whose language is derived from Malay, and, on the other hand, share cultural similarities with the Melanesian peoples of the Admiralty Islands.

The lack of similar characteristics or overlap between neighboring cultures is the criterion for the Micronesian cultural area.

République de Guinée - N’tô N’kélé

Guinea is a country in West Africa bordering (clockwise from the northwest) Guinea-Bissau, Senegal, Mali, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and the Atlantic Ocean. The capital of Guinea is Conakry.

The former French colony of Guinea gained independence on October 2, 1958. In its turbulent history, Guinea has suffered many military coups, most recently in 2021. The resulting current government, led by Mamady Doumbouya, rules authoritatively, just like previous governments. Serious human rights violations continue to occur regularly.

In addition to neighboring Guinea-Bissau, there is another country in Africa called Guinea: Equatorial Guinea, located further east between Cameroon and Gabon. These countries should not be confused with the South American Guianas (Guyana, French Guiana, and Dutch Guiana/Suriname).

Ǧumhūriyyat aṣ-Ṣūmāl al-Fidirāliyya - Waddada Ayaan

Somalia refers to a federal state on the Horn of Africa in the far east of Africa. The claimed territory borders the Indian Ocean to the east, the Gulf of Aden to the north, Djibouti and Ethiopia to the west, and Kenya to the south. More than 17 million people live there. However, a Somalia within these borders has not existed since 1988 due to the Somali Civil War. By 1991, the northwest seceded and has existed largely stably as the independent de facto state of Somaliland since then, in contrast to the rest of the country, where fighting continues to this day and which is considered a failed state.

The country's name is derived from the Somali people, who form the majority of the population. Somalia emerged from the merger of the colonial territories of British and Italian Somaliland, which jointly gained independence in 1960 ("African Year"). With the overthrow of the authoritarian government under Siad Barre in 1991, Somalia completely collapsed. The transitional governments formed from 2000 onwards under the protection of the international community were largely unsuccessful; at times they were barely able to maintain control of the capital. Large parts of the country fell into the hands of local clans, warlords, or radical Islamist groups, and there was also widespread piracy off the coast of Somalia. In 2012, the majority of the many de facto states that had emerged in the meantime formed a new republic with a joint government under a new constitution in 2012, in which they remain largely autonomous as member states. This federal state exists to this day. However, this government still has no power over Somaliland in the northwest, which is seeking international recognition as an independent state from Somalia. Furthermore, large parts of Somalia, especially in the south, are controlled by the Islamist al-Shabaab (as of February 2024).

Somalia is one of the poorest countries in the world[5][6] and the country with the worst hunger.[7] In February 2023, according to the UN Children's Fund UNICEF, over 6 million people in Somalia were affected by hunger.

Bŭlgariya - Nie Sme Na Pŭt

Bulgaria is a republic in southeastern Europe with around 6.5 million inhabitants. The country occupies most of the eastern Balkan Peninsula and is bordered by Romania to the north, Serbia and North Macedonia to the west, Greece and Turkey to the south, and the Black Sea to the east. Bulgaria covers an area of ​​110,994 square kilometers and lies in the temperate climate zone. Sofia is the capital and also the largest city in the country; other larger cities are Plovdiv, Varna and Burgas. Bulgaria has been a member of NATO since 2004 and joined the European Union in 2007.
In what is now Bulgaria there is the earliest evidence of the presence of humans (Homo sapiens) in Europe and the Neolithic Karanovo culture, which dates back to 6500 BC. Dating back to the 1st century BC, one of the earliest settlements on the continent. In the 6th to 3rd centuries B.C. In the 4th century BC the region came under tension between the Thracians, Persians, Celts and Greeks. Stability came when the Roman Empire managed to conquer the region in 45 AD. With the decline and division of the empire, invasions by different groups began again in the region. The Goths immigrated in the 4th century and created the only written source of their language here. Around the 6th century, the areas were settled by the early Slavs. The Proto-Bulgarians, led by the brothers Asparuch and Kuwer, left the territory of (old) (Greater) Bulgaria and settled permanently on the Balkan Peninsula in the late 7th century. They founded two empires called Bulgaria, one between the Danube and the Balkan Mountains and one in the area around today's Bitola in the west of the peninsula. The Danube Empire, which was recognized by treaty by the Eastern Roman Empire in 681, over time united with the Empire of Kuwer. This First Bulgarian Empire ruled most of the southern Balkan Peninsula and significantly influenced Slavic cultures through the development of the Cyrillic script at the court of the Bulgarian tsars and the establishment of the Bulgarian Patriarchate.
Old Bulgarian literature and literature formed the third largest cultural and religious area in medieval Europe. The empire existed until the early 11th century, when the Byzantine Emperor Basil II conquered and subjugated it. A successful Bulgarian revolt in 1185 established a Second Bulgarian Empire, which reached its peak under Ivan Asen II (1218–1241). After numerous exhausting wars and feudal struggles, the empire dissolved in 1396 and the region fell under Ottoman rule for almost five centuries.

Today Bulgaria is a parliamentary republic consisting of 28 provinces with a high degree of political, administrative and economic centralization. With an upper-middle income economy, the United Nations Development Program ranks Bulgaria among high human development countries. Its market economy is part of the European internal market and is based largely on services, followed by industry - particularly engineering and mining - and agriculture. Bulgaria is the world's largest producer of lavender oil and has a long tradition of rose cultivation and rose oil production. The country is facing a demographic crisis as its population has been shrinking annually since around 1990. Compared to a peak of almost nine million inhabitants in 1988, today there are only around 6.5 million. Bulgaria has been a member of NATO since March 29, 2004 and a member of the European Union (EU) and the Council of Europe since January 1, 2007, a founding member of the OSCE and has held a seat on the United Nations Security Council three times.

የኢትዮጵያ ፌዴራላዊ ዲሞክራሲያዊ ሪፐብሊክ (yä-Ityop̣p̣əya Federalawi Dimokrasiyawi Ripäblik) - እንኩራ (Enhid)

Ethiopia is a landlocked country in eastern Africa. At the time of the Abyssinian Empire, the country was also known as Abyssinia (less frequently as Abyssinia). The country on the Horn of Africa borders Eritrea, Sudan, South Sudan, Kenya, Somalia and Djibouti.

With over 90 ethnic groups and just as many languages, Ethiopia is a multi-ethnic state and at the same time the most populous landlocked country in the world.[6] A major obstacle to development is the very rapid population growth in a traditionally rural environment that often lacks basic infrastructure. The capital Addis Ababa, on the other hand, is one of the largest metropolises in Africa. Other cities such as Gonder, Mek'ele, Adama, Awassa, Bahir Dar and Dire Dawa are also growing due to urbanization.

Ethiopia is considered one of the countries of origin of modern humans and the country of origin of coffee. It looks back on around 3,000 years of uninterrupted history. This long period of almost undisturbed development of culture and civilization from outside also makes the country, which has nine UNESCO World Heritage sites, a popular tourist destination. After the Battle of Adua in 1896, in which the Ethiopian imperial army defeated an Italian colonial army, Ethiopia remained the only independent state in Africa alongside Liberia. From 1935 to 1941, the Abyssinian War followed, a brutal attempt at conquest by fascist Italy, in which between 330,000 and 760,000 Ethiopians were killed.

After World War II, Emperor Haile Selassie partially modernized the country. In 1974, the approximately 700-year rule of the Solomonic dynasty ended with a coup, followed by a socialist one-party dictatorship. In 1991, the rebel alliance EPRDF came to power after a civil war. The EPRDF has since established itself as a governing coalition and rules largely authoritatively in a federal system. In December 2019, three of the four constituent EPRDF parties merged to form a new party, the Prosperity Party, which has led the government since then. From around 2005, Ethiopia's economy began to grow at a rapid pace (see list of countries by economic growth).

The 2020 BTI report noted initial successes of political and economic transformation.

In August 2020, the government of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed postponed parliamentary elections indefinitely, citing the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to internal political conflicts. From November 2020, the conflict between the central government and the Tigray regional government developed into a civil war in Tigray.
