România - Suntem Pe Drum

Romania is a semi-presidential republic in southeastern Europe. The country lies on the Black Sea and stretches westwards across the Carpathian Mountains to the Pannonian Plain. Romania borders on five countries: Bulgaria to the south, Serbia and Hungary to the west, and Ukraine and Moldova to the north and east.

The modern Romanian state was created in 1859 through the unification of the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia to form the Principality of Romania. After the First World War, Transylvania was granted to the Kingdom of Romania, Bukovina and Banat to Austria-Hungary, Southern Dobruja to the Kingdom of Bulgaria, and Bessarabia to the Russian Empire. After World War II, Romania was part of the Warsaw Pact as a Socialist Republic during the Cold War. It was the only Warsaw Pact country to maintain continuous diplomatic relations with Israel. Since 1989, Romania has moved politically closer to Western European states and joined NATO (2004) and the European Union (2007).

With 238,397 km², Romania has the eighth largest area and, with around 19.05 million inhabitants, the sixth largest population of all member states of the European Union. The Romanian capital Bucharest is the eighth largest city in the European Union with 1.71 million inhabitants (as of 2021), just after Warsaw (1.86 million). Other important cities are Cluj-Napoca (Klausenburg), Timișoara (Temisoara), Iași (Jassy), Constanța (Konstanza), Craiova and Brașov (Kronstadt).

België - Op Het Spoor

Belgium is a federal state in Western Europe. It lies between the North Sea and the Ardennes and borders the Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg and France. As of January 1, 2022, Belgium had around 11.6 million inhabitants in an area of ​​30,688 square kilometers. With 377 inhabitants per square kilometer, Belgium is one of the most densely populated countries. At almost 98 percent, Belgium's level of urbanization is the highest in Europe. Brussels is the capital and seat of the Belgian royal family, the federal government and the center of the Brussels-Capital Region. The most populous city is Antwerp, followed by Ghent, Charleroi, Liège (Liège) and Brussels.

Since independence in 1830 and the constitution in 1831, Belgium has been a parliamentary hereditary monarchy (see also Belgian monarchy). However, Belgian history goes back much further: “Belgium is a country with a young state, but a long history” (Christoph Driessen). Belgium comprises four language areas. The north of the country with the Flemish is a Dutch-speaking area, the south with the Walloons is a French-speaking area (see Flemish and French communities). The Brussels-Capital Region is officially bilingual, but has a majority Francophone population. In the German-speaking area in East Belgium, Standard German and West Central German dialects are widespread (see German-speaking Community).

The Flemish-Walloon conflict, which has been ongoing since the 19th century, has shaped the often conflicting interests of representatives of the two major population groups in Belgian politics. Language legislation is a consequence of this conflict. Since the 1970s, attempts have been made to address this problem by decentralizing the state organization. For this purpose, Belgium was transformed into a federal state consisting of three regions and three communities. The regions of Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels Capital as well as the Flemish, French and German-speaking communities have since formed the basic political structure of the country. Belgium's state structure is considered complex because, among other things, the territories of the regions do not coincide with those of the communities. The responsibilities of the French and Flemish communities overlap in the officially bilingual Brussels-Capital region, and the small area of ​​the German-speaking Community belongs to the predominantly French-speaking Wallonia region. However, the German-speaking community is aiming to be separated from Wallonia and become the fourth Belgian region with equal rights alongside Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels-Capital.

Belgium is a founding member of the European Economic Community (EEC), now the European Union (EU), whose main institutions are based in its capital, Brussels. The Belgian state is a member of the Benelux Economic Union alongside the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

Since the 2000s, Belgium has developed into a very wealthy country in Europe. The country's central geographical location gives it a strategic advantage in international trade, supported by well-developed infrastructure such as the port of Antwerp. As a founding member of the European Union, Belgium benefited from political and economic integration, particularly through the introduction of the euro in 2002. The country also invested in research and development, which strengthened its innovative strength.

At the social level, Belgium's advanced social system offers comprehensive benefits and solidarity-specific protection for needy citizens and benefits for people with disabilities.

Česká Republika - Jdeme Dál

Winner of the week: 🥇39

Czech Republic is a landlocked country in Central Europe with around 10.5 million inhabitants. It consists of the historical countries of Bohemia (Čechy) and Moravia (Morava) as well as parts of Silesia (Slezsko) The country borders on Germany in the west, Poland in the north, Slovakia in the east and Austria in the south. The country's capital and metropolis is Prague (Czech: Praha), other major cities are Brno (Brno), Ostrava (Ostrava). , Pilsen (Plzeň), Reichenberg (Liberec) and Olomouc (Olomouc).

In the 6th century, Slavs immigrated to Bohemia, which had previously been populated by Celts and Germanic peoples. At the beginning of the 9th century, the Moravian Empire emerged as the first Slavic state. The unified Czech state emerged under the Bohemian Přemyslid dynasty, when the Margraviate of Moravia was subordinated to Bohemia in the 11th century and the Kingdom of Bohemia was formed in 1085. It had a special position in the Holy Roman Empire and ruled large areas of continental Europe under the Přemyslids and Luxembourgers. In the wake of the rise of the Habsburgs and the Thirty Years' War, the area became part of the Habsburg Monarchy and remained so until its collapse following its defeat in the First World War.

日本 (Nihon) - この道 (Kono Michi)

Winner of the week: 🥇11

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.

Take Me Home - Morten (J.A. Remix)

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.
