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.

In addition to various Bantu languages, most residents of the former French colony speak French. The country's oil revenues finance a large part of the state budget. The country has been ruled by the Bongo family since 1967 and is considered a dictatorship by many international observers. After 42 years, Ali-Ben Bongo Ondimba took over the presidency from his father Omar Bongo in 2009 following a disputed election.

Winner of the month: 🏆Aug'25
Winner of the week: 🥇13

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).

Nigeria is a federal state in West Africa. With around 230 million inhabitants (2024), it is by far the most populous country in Africa and the country with the sixth largest population in the world. In the period from 1989 to 2019, the country's population doubled; this continues to rise sharply.

Nigeria borders the Atlantic Ocean and the countries of Benin, Niger, Chad and Cameroon. The country's capital is Abuja. The former capital and economic center Lagos is, with around 16 million inhabitants, the second largest city in Africa after Kinshasa. Other cities with more than three million inhabitants include Kano, Ibadan, Abuja and Port Harcourt. Nigeria is a country with great cultural diversity: numerous West African religions are practiced and 514 different languages ​​and idioms are spoken. The three largest ethnic groups are the Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa. English is the official language and a widespread lingua franca.

In pre-colonial times, various states and kingdoms existed on what is now Nigeria. From 1861 to 1903 it gradually became a British colony. Nigeria became independent in 1960. From 1967 to 1970, a civil war raged between southeastern Biafra and the rest of Nigeria, followed by turbulent decades with several military governments. Nigeria has had a US-style presidential system since 1999. Elections are held every four years, but these are sometimes criticized at home and abroad. The EU observer mission criticized the 2023 presidential and parliamentary elections as being non-transparent.[4] In the same year, the electoral commission INEC was unable to convince an investigative tribunal called for by the opposition. Nigeria's anti-LGBT laws are among the most draconian in the world. Raids and mass arrests are regularly reported.

Since 2014, Nigeria has been Africa's largest economy, ahead of South Africa. It is considered an emerging market by the World Bank. Five out of seven African tech unicorns are located in Nigeria, and almost a third of all African technological startups come from Nigeria. The metropolis of Lagos has long been the leading financial center in West and Central Africa. A central economic mainstay has long been the export of crude oil, but Nigeria has recently also relied on large refineries for its processing. The country's film industry produces more films than Hollywood and Bollywood anywhere else in the world. Nigerian music, Afrobeats, is a mainstay in international charts and regularly wins awards.

Қазақстан Республикасы (Qazaqstan Respublikasy) - Біз Бірге (Biz Birge)

Winner of the week: 🥇21, 🥇23

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.

República Argentina - Vamos Caminando

Winner of the month: 🏆Jun'25
Winner of the week: 🥇38

Argentina is a republic in southern South America. It borders Chile to the south and west, Bolivia to the north, Paraguay and Brazil to the northeast, Uruguay to the east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the southeast.

The country's name is derived from the Latin word for silver – argentum – and dates back to the Spanish colonial period, when people hoped to find precious metals there. Until its independence in 1816, it was part of the Spanish colonial empire. Politically, Argentina is a presidential federal republic in which the individual provinces have extensive powers. According to the Argentine Constitution, in addition to República Argentina, Provincias Unidas del Río de la Plata and Confederación Argentina are considered official names for Argentina.

With an area of ​​almost 2.8 million km², Argentina is the eighth-largest country in the world and the second-largest in South America and the fourth-largest in the Americas. Due to its large north-south extension, the country is located in several climate and vegetation zones. In terms of population, with approximately 45 million inhabitants, it is the third-largest in South America (after Brazil and Colombia) and the fifth-largest in the Americas. About a third of the population is concentrated in the metropolitan area of ​​the capital, Buenos Aires, which is considered an important cultural center of the Americas and where, among other things, Argentine tango originated. Other urban centers are the cities of Córdoba, Rosario, Mar del Plata, and Mendoza. Large parts of the dry and cold south, in contrast, are very sparsely populated.

Until around 1950, Argentina was one of the richest countries in the world. Traditionally, agriculture, livestock farming and raw material extraction played a major role in the economy, although today the service sector accounts for the largest share of GDP at around 60%.

Politically and culturally, the country was strongly influenced by immigration from Europe, especially Italy and Spain, until the mid-20th century. The most important stages since then have been Peronism (1946–1955; 1973–1976), several military dictatorships (particularly from 1976 to 1983), redemocratization (after 1983), and neoliberalism (1990s), up to the Argentine crisis (2001–2005) and the subsequent consolidation.

France is a democratic, intercontinental unitary state in Western Europe with overseas territories. Its territory is located on all continents except Asia.

Metropolitan France, i.e. the European part of the national territory, extends from the Mediterranean to the English Channel and the North Sea and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. Its mainland is called a hexagon because of its shape. France is the largest country in terms of area and the second largest country in terms of population (behind Germany) in the European Union. It comprises the third largest territory in Europe (after Russia and Ukraine). Paris is the capital and, as an agglomeration with the municipal association Métropole du Grand Paris and the surrounding areas of the Île-de-France region, the largest metropolitan area in the country, ahead of Lyon, Marseille-Aix-en-Provence, Lille and Toulouse.

Emerging from the western part of the Frankish Empire, France expanded its cultural and military influence in Europe during the Middle Ages, mostly in rivalry with the Kingdom of England and the Holy Roman Empire, until France finally achieved a European leadership role in the 17th and 18th centuries held supremacy.

The political and cultural impact was significant: the court of Louis Development towards democracy interrupted by setbacks.

France twice built a colonial empire overseas. The first included, among other things: large parts of North America and was largely lost in the Seven Years' War in the mid-18th century; the second, centered in Africa, was the second largest in the world in the 19th and early 20th centuries. In the 21st century, France and Germany are seen as the driving force of European integration.

The French Republic is declared in its constitution to be indivisible, secular, democratic and social. Its principle is: “Government of the people, by the people and for the people.” The United Nations Development Program ranks France among the countries with very high levels of human development. In terms of nominal gross domestic product, it is the seventh largest economy in the world. The standard of living, level of education and life expectancy are considered high. As the most visited country in the world, France receives around 83 million foreign tourists per year.

The French armed forces are among the seven strongest in the world and were the third strongest in NATO in 2023, and the fifth strongest in 2024 after the USA, Great Britain, Turkey and Italy. The country is the only nuclear power in the European Union, one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and in 2010 had the third highest number of nuclear weapons in the world. It is a founding member of the European Union and the United Nations, a member of the Francophonie, the G7, the G20 , NATO, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the Latin Union.

I feel good in the corner of the earth

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.
