Lithuania is the southernmost of the three Baltic states. It borders the Baltic Sea to the west and shares borders with Latvia, Belarus, Poland, and Russia (exclave of Kaliningrad Oblast). Lithuania is the largest country in the Baltic region, both in terms of area and population.

From approximately 1253 to 1795, Lithuania was a Grand Duchy, and from 1569 onward, as Poland-Lithuania, it was part of a real union. With the Third Partition of Poland in 1795, its territory passed to Russia and Prussia, which lost its share to the Duchy of Warsaw and Russia in 1807, until Lithuania became a sovereign republic in 1918 with the Act of Independence of Lithuania. After the Soviet occupation (1940), interrupted by the German occupation (1941–1944), it regained its independence in 1990. As part of the EU enlargement in 2004, Lithuania became a member of the European Union and a member of NATO. Since January 1, 2015, Lithuania has been the 19th member of the Eurozone.

Lithuania has a population of over three million (as of 2025). The capital and largest city of Lithuania is Vilnius (612,000 inhabitants). Other major cities are Kaunas (311,500), Klaipėda (165,000), and Šiauliai (117,000). Panevėžys is the fifth largest city with 88,000 inhabitants.

Cameroon is a country in Central Africa. It borders Nigeria, Chad, the Central African Republic, the Republic of Congo, Gabon, and Equatorial Guinea. The country has a coastline on the Atlantic Ocean in the southwest. The largest cities are the capital, Yaoundé, and the port city of Douala.

Cameroon is governed by an authoritarian regime, and freedom of expression is severely restricted. Corruption and human rights violations are widespread, with torture and arbitrary arrests occurring regularly.

On January 1, 1960, French Cameroon gained independence following a referendum and the expiration of the UN mandate and renamed itself the Republic of Cameroon. In December 1960, the 15th United Nations General Assembly decided that the trust territories should also be granted independence. This could be achieved through full independence, free association with an already independent state, or integration into an independent state. The British trustees denied their trust territories the first option—full independence. The north of the British Mandate trust territory therefore voted in a referendum to join Nigeria, while the southern part opted for federation with the Republic of Cameroon. Independence and simultaneous annexation took place on October 1, 1961. The state thus formed was called the Federative Republic of Cameroon. This is the reason why two official languages, French and English, are now recognized in Cameroon.

Sāmoa Amelika/American Samoa - Matou

American Samoa is part of the Samoan Islands and borders the independent state of Samoa to the southeast. The largest and most populous island of American Samoa is Tutuila, with its capital city, Pago Pago.

During World War II, American Samoa temporarily gained greater strategic importance for the United States between 1942 and 1945, when the construction of a naval base and an airport (Pago Pago International Airport) was decided upon.

Critics describe American Samoa's lack of self-determination and its control by the US government as a colonial relationship. The territory has been on the UN list of non-self-governing territories since 1946.

Repiblik d Ayiti - Nou Sou Wout La

Haiti is an island nation located on the island of Hispaniola in the Greater Antilles. It comprises the western part of the Caribbean island, the eastern part of which is occupied by the Dominican Republic. Haiti's approximately eleven million inhabitants are mostly of sub-Saharan African descent. The country's capital is Port-au-Prince.

Haiti was the first independent state in the Caribbean after the French colonial period. Independence, achieved in 1804 after long conflicts in the Haitian Revolution, led to an economic decline of the formerly prosperous country. The world's first Black republic not only lost the knowledge and networks of colonial structures but was also forced to pay compensation to the expropriated and expelled landowners for a good 20 years. This resulted in a national debt that burdened the country, as did the refusal of France and other nations, which continued until 1838, to recognize Haiti as a sovereign country. From the very beginning, internal tensions and conflicts, divisions and power struggles, as well as wars against the eastern part of the island, made real economic and social development impossible. Ultimately, corruption and internal political blockades took hold, all of which contributed to Haiti's current status as an underdeveloped country.

Haiti is the only country in the Western Hemisphere ranked among the world's least developed countries. Its weak domestic economy, coupled with its unstable political situation with frequent unrest, has turned it into a failed state, from which more than three million citizens have emigrated since the mid-1990s.

On July 7, 2021, incumbent President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated without the perpetrators being apprehended. Since then, the long-fragile state structures have largely collapsed again. Moïse's de facto successor, Ariel Henry, attempted to rule the country authoritatively until his resignation in March 2024 and did not allow free elections. However, the state now controls only about half of the country; the rest is in the hands of armed gangs.

Winner of the week: 🥇8

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 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.
