Originaltitle: 中國 (Zhōngguó) - 在路上 (Zài Lùshàng)

The People's Republic of China (Chinese: 中华人民共和国, pinyin Zhōnghuá Rénmín Gònghéguó, generally referred to as China in distinction or to distinguish it from Taiwan, also mainland China or Red China) is a state in East Asia. With more than 1.4 billion inhabitants (2020), China is the second most populous country in the world after India and the third largest country in terms of total area. According to its socialist constitution, the People's Republic of China is "under the democratic dictatorship of the people", but has been from the beginning Governed throughout by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in an authoritarian to totalitarian manner. To this day she is accused of serious human rights violations.

Since 2016, the World Bank has classified the country as one of the states with an income level in the upper middle range. On average, China's economic power grew by 8.9% annually from 2000 to 2019. In addition to the doubling of China's share of world trade, the gross domestic product increased sixfold during this time, so that by the end of that period China had grown into the second largest economy in the world. However, according to observers, since the "Outstanding Leader" Xi Jinping came to power in 2012, the People's Republic has again taken steps backwards in social and economic freedom and has become increasingly ideologically and internationally aggressive.

The People's Republic of China is the world's largest exporter, the second largest importer, the country with the largest industrial production, the second highest spending on research and development, the second largest total national wealth, the largest standing army and the second largest defense budget and, depending on the source, is considered an emerging or already established country Superpower of the 21st century alongside the United States.

The People's Republic of China is one of the official nuclear powers and, as one of the five official victors of the Second World War, is a permanent member of the World Security Council and a member of the World Trade Organization, World Bank, APEC, BRICS, UNESCO, Interpol and G20, among others.

Originaltitle: Éire - On The Journey

Ireland is an island nation in Western Europe. It encompasses around five-sixths of the island of the same name as well as a large number of smaller islands that lie off it - mainly in the west of the country. The Republic of Ireland borders Northern Ireland in the north and thus the United Kingdom. To the east lies the Irish Sea, to the west and south the country is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. The capital and largest city of Ireland is Dublin, located in the eastern part of the country. Around a third of the five million inhabitants live in the Dublin metropolitan area. The majority of the population professes the Roman Catholic faith.

Ireland, which was impoverished for a long time and therefore affected by emigration, has now transformed into a highly modern, in some areas multicultural, industrial and service society. In 2021, Ireland had the fourth highest gross domestic product per capita (purchasing power adjusted) in the world and the second highest in Europe. In 2019, the country was visited by eleven million foreign tourists. Ireland is a member of the European Union.

Originaltitle: United States of America - We're On The Way

The United States of America is a democratic, federal republic in North America and, with some islands, in Oceania. It consists of 50 states, the capital Washington, D.C., which is its own federal district, as well as five major territories and nine island territories.

The 48 contiguous Contiguous United States, the so-called Lower 48, together with Alaska, from which they are separated by Canadian territory, form the Continental United States. The state of Hawaii and some smaller outlying areas are located in the Pacific and Caribbean. The country has a very high geographical and climatic diversity with a large variety of animal and plant species.

The United States of America is the third largest country in the world both in terms of area and population. Its area of ​​9.83 million square kilometers is exceeded only by Russia and Canada and its population of more than 334 million inhabitants is exceeded only by India and China. The most populous city in the USA is New York City, a global metropolis and one of the most important cultural, media, economic, trade and financial centers in the world. Important metropolitan areas are Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Philadelphia, Washington, Miami, Atlanta, Boston and San Francisco, each with over 5 million inhabitants. The degree of urbanization is 83 percent. A well-known national myth is that the United States is one of the most multicultural countries in the world; However, empirical studies show that the United States performs only averagely in global comparisons of ethnic and cultural diversity.

On July 4, 1776, delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence of the United States and thus the founding of the USA. The American War of Independence, which ended with the recognition of independence in the Peace of Paris (1783), was the first successful war of independence against a European colonial power. The current constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787. 27 additional articles were added. The first ten amendments, collectively called the Bill of Rights, were ratified in 1791 and guarantee a variety of unalienable rights.

Driven by the doctrine of Manifest Destiny, the United States expanded its territory from the Atlantic to the Pacific throughout the 19th century. This included the violent expulsion of indigenous Indian tribes, the acquisition of new territories, etc. in the Mexican-American War and the founding of new states. The American Civil War led to the end of slavery in the United States in 1865 and to the fact that it finally embarked on the path to becoming an industrial state. By the end of the 19th century, the United States was the preeminent power in the Americas, and its economy had become the largest of the time.

Originaltitle: The United Kingdom - On The Way

The United Kingdom is a European state located in the British Isles off the northwest coast of continental Europe and is the largest island state in Europe.

The United Kingdom is a union of four parts of the country, usually referred to in English as countries or nations: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Other important cities include Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Liverpool and Belfast.
The British Empire, which existed under the rule of the United Kingdom from the 17th to the 20th century, is considered the largest colonial empire in history. During the industrialization of the 18th century, the United Kingdom developed into the first industrial state and was the leading world power from the loss of power of France after the Napoleonic Wars in the early 19th century until the rise of the United States in the late 19th century (Pax Britannica).

Today, the United Kingdom, with just over 68 million inhabitants, is the fourth most populous country in Europe, after Russia, Germany and France. The most populous part of the country is England (around 56 million inhabitants), while Scotland has around 5.5 million, Wales 3.1 million and Northern Ireland 1.9 million. In terms of nominal gross domestic product, it is the sixth largest economy in the world after Germany and India.

Japan Ranking: https://soundcloud.com/josef-schweinzer/sets/ramixjoeworldcontest2025?si=7b5aace52bf94ead92167793ec9a0654&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Originaltitle: 日本 (Nihon) - 途中で (Tochū De)

Japan is an East Asian state in the Pacific comprising 14,125 islands, indirectly bordering Russia to the north and northwest, North and South Korea to the west, and Taiwan and China to the southwest. It is the fourth largest island state in terms of area and the second largest in terms of population. The de facto capital and largest urban settlement is Tokyo, which was abolished as a political entity in World War II; de jure there is a “capital area” made up of eight prefectures including Tokyo.

The formation of the Japanese state began in the 5th century under the cultural influence of the Chinese Empire. Japan had been in contact with the West since the 16th century and rose to become a great power in the 19th century, acquiring colonies such as Korea and Taiwan, taking part in both world wars and briefly ruling large parts of Southeast and East Asia. Until 1947, the Japanese Empire was a constitutional monarchy based on the monarchical principle, partly based on the Prussian model, with the Japanese emperor as head of state.
His aggressive expansion policy in the Republic of China in the run-up to and during the Second World War (Pacific War) ultimately led to defeat on the side of the Axis powers in August 1945. In the Japanese state formed under Douglas MacArthur's occupation government since 1947, the sovereign is the people, the highest organ of state power the parliament, whose chambers have since then both been directly elected by the people. The empire was not abolished, but the emperor, as a “symbol of the state,” was reduced to ceremonial tasks without independent authority in state affairs. Apart from Japan, there is no longer any country in the world whose head of state is an emperor.

Japan is one of the most densely populated countries in Asia and, with almost 126 million inhabitants, is the eleventh most populous country in the world. Most residents are followers of Shintoism and Buddhism.

As the historically first industrial nation in Asia, Japan has a very highly developed economy and was, for many decades, the world's second largest economic power behind the United States, with which it has been a military ally since 1952, until the economic upswing of the People's Republic of China in the early 2000s. As a member of the Group of Seven, Japan is one of the largest industrial nations and part of the OECD. The United Nations Development Program lists Japan as one of the countries with very high levels of human development. It is the country with the highest life expectancy and the third largest national wealth.

Japanese Studies deals with the research and teaching of the language and culture of Japan in its historical development.

Uruguay is a state in the Southern Cone of South America. It is the smallest Spanish-speaking country in South America. Uruguay borders Brazil to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Río de la Plata to the south and Argentina to the west (separated by the Río Uruguay).

After the arrival of European settlers, the horses and cattle released by the Spanish on the vast grassy plains of the Pampas developed into large herds that formed the basis of the country's economic wealth. Uruguay is now one of the most stable, democratic and prosperous countries in Latin America. Political and economic transformation has made considerable progress in recent years.

Originaltitle: Россия (Rossiya) - B Пути (V Puti)

Russia is a federal state in Eastern Europe and Northern Asia, with the exclave of Kaliningrad in Central Europe. In terms of area, Russia is the largest country in the world at around 17 million square kilometers and covers around a ninth of the earth's land mass. With 144.5 million inhabitants (2019), it is the ninth most populous country and is also one of the least populated.

The European part of the national territory is significantly more densely populated than the Asian part, which is over three times as large: around 77% of the population (110 million inhabitants) lives west of the Urals. The capital Moscow is one of the largest cities and metropolitan regions in the world. The second most important center is Saint Petersburg, which was the capital from 1712 to 1918 and is now primarily an important cultural center. The next largest cities with millions of inhabitants are Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Kazan and Nizhny Novgorod. In total, there are 15 megacities and almost 70 agglomerations with over 500,000 inhabitants in Russia.

The federal structure of Russia consists of eight federal districts and 83 federal subjects. Russia is a multi-ethnic country with over 100 ethnic groups, with ethnic Russians making up almost 80% of the population. Russia is now an emerging country in the upper middle income sector. After recovering from the post-communist transformation crisis of the 1990s, the country became what is now the eleventh largest economy in the world and fourth largest in terms of purchasing power parity, just ahead of Germany. Its raw material reserves are probably the largest in the world at around 20 to 30%, with significant deposits of primary energy sources - especially natural gas. Russia has been subject to a steady decline in economic, demographic and military performance since the mid-1980s, when it was still part of the Soviet Union. According to the SIPRI Institute, it has the largest number of nuclear warheads of any country at 4,489, of which only 1,674 are ready for use while the rest are in storage.

Russia has been a permanent member of the UN Security Council since 1946 and is also a member of the WTO, OSCE, APEC and the SCO, as well as a leading member of the regional organizations CIS, CSTO and EAEU.

The Russian Federation is the “continuor state” of the Soviet Union in international organizations. The Soviet federal state was preceded by the Russian Empire, the Tsardom of Russia and originally the Grand Duchy of Moscow, a sub-principality of the former East Slavic Empire of Kievan Rus. The Cold War ended around 1990, and Russia became a little more democratic and moved slightly closer to the West. The constitution at the time envisaged a semi-presidential democracy for Russia, but according to democracy indices, the constitutional reality today corresponds to that of an autocracy, or a “super-presidential rule” or post-democracy. Corruption and human rights violations are widespread.

Russia's share of global gross domestic product has fallen from 4 to 2.85% (2022) since the sanctions began in 2014 as a result of the annexation of Crimea and intensified with the attack on Ukraine in 2022. Especially since the attack on the neighboring country, economic and political relations with the West have been very strained.

Russia is predominantly viewed as an autocracy. In political science and Eastern European studies there is a debate as to whether it is now an increasingly totalitarian dictatorship or whether it is already a fascist regime due to domestic political tightening and the attack on Ukraine (fascism discussion).

Originaltitle: الإمارات العربية المتحدة (Al'iimarat Alearabiat Almutahida) - 
نحن في الطريق، (Nahn Fi Altariqi)

United Arab Emirates are a federation of seven emirates in the east of the Arabian Peninsula in southwest Asia. Located on the Persian Gulf coast and with access to the Gulf of Oman, the country borders Saudi Arabia and Oman. The capital of the UAE is Abu Dhabi, as one of the country's three major cities alongside Dubai and Sharjah, it is also an important economic and cultural center.

The UAE consists of the emirates of Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm al-Quwain. Before independence in 1971, the Emirates were known as the “Treaty Coast” or “Treaty States” because of the protectorate treaties that local rulers signed with the United Kingdom in the 19th century. The current political system is based on the 1971 constitution (the seventh emirate of Ras al-Khaimah was added in 1972). The state religion is Islam and Sharia is the main source of legislation. Arabic is the country's official language, but English is also widely spoken.
The UAE has the seventh largest oil reserves in the world, is the most developed economy in the Middle East and one of the richest countries in the world with a per capita gross domestic product of $71,139 (adjusted for purchasing power in 2020). The United Nations Development Program lists the country as one of the countries with very high levels of human development. The International Monetary Fund classifies the UAE as a “high income developing economy”. The country is a founding member of the Gulf Cooperation Council and a member state of the Arab League, the United Nations, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, OPEC and the World Trade Organization.

The UAE has around 10 million inhabitants, but only around 10 percent of them are nationals. The majority of the population are migrant workers; this is the second highest rate of migrant workers in the world after Qatar. Due to labor migration, 40 percent of all UAE residents come from India (28 percent) and Pakistan (12 percent) alone. Because migrants are predominantly men, the UAE also has the world's second-highest proportion of men in the total population.

The UAE is governed by authoritarian rule. Freedom of expression is severely restricted and serious human rights violations occur regularly in the United Arab Emirates, especially against women and migrant workers.

Originaltitle: Bosna i Hercegovina - Koračamo Zajedno

Bosnia is a southeastern European federal state. Geographically, it consists of the Bosnia region in the north - which occupies around 80 percent of the national territory - and the smaller Herzegovina region in the south. The federal state's political areas are the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republika Srpska and the Brčko District as a special administrative region. The state's capital and largest city is Sarajevo; other major cities are Banja Luka, Tuzla, Zenica, Bijeljina and Mostar.

Today Bosnia and Herzegovina consists of the two entities Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (populated mostly by Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats) and Republika Srpska (populated mostly by Bosnian Serbs). The Brčko special administrative region was subsequently created from parts of the pre-war Brčko municipality belonging to both entities and today functions as a condominium for both entities, but manages itself independently.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is a member of the Central European Free Trade Agreement, the United Nations, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (observer status), the Council of Europe, a participant in the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the Cooperation Council for Southeastern Europe.

Albania is a democratic parliamentary republic. During the central administration economy under dictator Hoxha, who invested almost exclusively in security, and the market economy transformation in the 1990s, Albania was in a very poor economic situation. Since the 2000s, significant steps have been taken to improve the economic and social situation, particularly through growth in the tourism and construction sectors. However, Albania remains one of the poorer countries in Europe. The poverty rate has fallen significantly, but remains high compared to regional standards. There is also high inequality and low provision of public goods. The country is struggling with organized crime and corruption.

The country is a member of the United Nations, NATO, OSCE, Council of Europe, CEFTA, Regional Cooperation Council, Black Sea Economic Cooperation and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. Albania has also been a candidate for membership of the European Union since June 24, 2014. It is also a member of the World Trade Organization and the World Bank.

Guatemala borders two oceans - the Pacific to the west and the Atlantic Caribbean Sea to the east - as well as four neighboring countries: Mexico to the north, Belize to the northeast, Honduras to the southeast and El Salvador to the south.

In the 2010s, under several right-wing heads of state, the country moved from an already severely ailing democracy towards dictatorship. The problems have increased, especially since 2020, when President Alejandro Giammattei came to power as president. For example, journalists have been politically imprisoned, and judges who condemn corruption have been indicted. Although several promising opposing candidates were not admitted to the 2023 presidential election, the social-liberal opposition candidate Bernardo Arévalo was elected president and sworn in in 2024.

In early antiquity, the Persian Empire was a powerful civilization in today's national territory.

Since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, Iran has been ruled in an authoritarian manner by a Shiite “Supreme Leader” (Ali Khamenei since 1989). Other political institutions have little power and exist more in appearance. The regime regularly commits serious violations of human rights. It also controls almost every aspect of daily life in terms of religious and ideological conformity, thereby curtailing the freedom of every citizen. Iran is a member of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

Since the Islamic Revolution, Iran's good relations with Western states have turned into open hostility, which is firmly anchored in the state ideology, especially with regard to the formerly friendly USA and Israel. However, relations with Russia and China have deepened, especially since the late 2010s, and there are also military cooperations with both. In particular, Iran supports Russia in the war against Ukraine.

In the Middle East, Iran is a regional power and leads an unofficial military coalition with the Axis of Resistance, which includes, among others, the authoritarian governments in Syria and Gaza as well as Hezbollah and Houthis. With this it fights in several wars against other regional powers such as Israel and Saudi Arabia, such as the war in Syria, the war in Yemen and the war in Israel and Gaza.

Thanks to its natural resources, especially the world's largest natural gas and fourth-largest oil reserves, Iran has a major influence on the world's supply of fossil fuels. Apart from that, the Iranian economy was in a deep crisis for a long time, due, among other things, to the high proportion of inefficient state-owned companies, corruption and the sanctions as a result of the conflict over the Iranian nuclear program.

Originaltitle: Қазақстан Республикасы (Qazaqstan Respublikasy) -
                     Бірге (Birge)

Kazakhstan is a country in Central Asia and Eastern Europe. The border with Russia is the country's only northern border and is over 7,600 kilometers long. To the south, Kazakhstan borders Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan, and to the southeast, over a length of almost 1,800 kilometers, it borders the People's Republic of China.[5] Kazakhstan's total land border is 13,200 km. With a land area of ​​more than 2.7 million km², Kazakhstan is the largest landlocked country and the ninth largest in the world. The country's landscape is primarily characterized by the Kazakh steppe and it has extensive oil resources.

Kazakhstan has a population of approximately 20 million, the majority of whom are Muslim Kazakhs. The capital is Astana, with 1.1 million inhabitants and an area of ​​722 square kilometers. The most populous city is Almaty, with 1.9 million inhabitants and an area of ​​682 square kilometers. Other important cities in the country are Shymkent and Qaraghandy, both with a population of one million.

Even in ancient times, various empires existed in the territory of present-day Kazakhstan. The western part of the First Turkic Khanate emerged between the 6th and 8th centuries. In the 13th century, the Mongols under Genghis Khan invaded. After the conquest by the Uzbek Timur in the 15th century, the Kazakhs were able to separate from the Uzbek Khanate and establish the Kazakh Khanate under a native Genghis Khanid dynasty. This allowed the Kazakhs to resist the introduction of Islam and remain connected to their traditional traditions. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Dzungarian Khanate expanded until the Kazakhs submitted to the Russian Tsar. In 1925, the Kazakh Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was founded, which from 1936 onwards formed a union republic within the Soviet Union as the Kazakh SSR.

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the country declared its independence as the Republic of Kazakhstan on December 16, 1991. Kazakhstan is a full member of the Commonwealth of Independent States. The presidential republic was ruled by Nursultan Nazarbayev from 1991 to 2019. Kazakh, a Turkic language, and Russian, a Slavic language, were declared official languages ​​upon independence, and the former capital, Alma-Ata, was renamed Almaty. In 1997, the seat of government and parliament was relocated to Akmola. The city was proclaimed the official capital and renamed Astana ("capital") one year later; this name was changed to Nur-Sultan in 2019 and back to Astana on September 17, 2022.

Kazakhstan is governed by an authoritarian regime, and corruption is widespread. The human rights situation is considered critical; for example, freedom of expression is severely restricted. In 2022, major anti-government protests broke out for the first time and were violently suppressed. Since then, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has embarked on a cautious reform program aimed at increasing pluralism and bringing the country closer to Western countries.

Even as a small child I wanted to learn a musical instrument...

...since there was a music school in our small town where I grew up, but it was limited to the activities of the local musicians' band, the choice was rather limited... because piano, guitar or saxophone were not offered and that's why I decided me for the trumpet, which was not used for cast-technical reasons, so the FLÜGELHORN became my instrument...
In my youth I turned my back on music and was active in sports towards the end of my teenage years.
