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.

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.

Türkmenistan Respublikasy - Biz Öňe Gideris

Turkmenistan is a state in Central Asia. Turkmenistan lies on the Caspian Sea and borders Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and Iran. At 488,100 km², the landlocked country is about the same size as Spain, its landscape is primarily characterized by the Karakum Desert and it has the fourth largest natural gas reserves in the world.

According to the census at the end of 2022, the sparsely populated state had 7,057,841 inhabitants, the majority of whom were Muslim Turkmen. The capital and largest city in the country with around one million inhabitants is Ashgabat. Other important cities are Türkmenabat, Daşoguz and Mary.

In 1991 the country declared its independence from the Soviet Union. In the following years, the first President Saparmurat Niyazov, who had previously ruled the then Soviet Republic since 1985, established a totalitarian system that still exists today. Turkmenistan is therefore considered one of the most restrictive, internationally recognized states today. The human rights situation is extremely critical, for example freedom of expression is severely restricted. In various democracy scales, the state has consistently occupied one of the last places since the beginning of the measurements until today.

The economy relies heavily on natural gas, which accounts for a majority of gross domestic product and exports. Despite the resources, the domestic economy remains constrained by government control and limited foreign investment. Socially, Turkmenistan has made progress in living conditions but faces challenges such as human rights violations and unequal distribution of economic benefits. Internationally, it pursues a policy of neutrality and maintains close economic relations with China.

اسلامی جمہوریۂ پاکستان (Islāmī Ǧumhūriya-i Pākistān) - ہم ساتھ چلیں گے، (Ham Sath Jain Ge)

Pakistan is a country in South Asia. It borders Iran to the southwest, Afghanistan to the west, the People's Republic of China to the north, and India to the east. In the south, Pakistan shares a coastline with the Arabian Sea, a marginal sea of ​​the Indian Ocean.

The state of Pakistan was created in 1947 from the predominantly Muslim parts of British India, while the areas with Hindu or other majorities, as well as most of the predominantly Muslim Kashmir, were incorporated into present-day India. In 1956, Pakistan declared itself the world's first Islamic republic. The former part of East Pakistan has been independent as Bangladesh since the Bangladesh War of 1971. Pakistan's recent history is primarily characterized by its conflict with India over the Kashmir region (see Kashmir conflict).

Pakistan is plagued by chronic instability. Ethnic-religious conflicts, terrorism, authoritarianism, human rights violations, and corruption are the country's problems. Discrimination against women and religious minorities is considered particularly serious. The country has a growing middle class, but remains one of the poorest and least economically developed countries in Asia. At the same time, it possesses nuclear weapons and has the sixth-largest army in the world. Pakistan is classified as underdeveloped, ranking 161st in the Human Development Index (as of 2022).

Chad is a landlocked country in Central Africa. It borders Libya to the north, Sudan to the east, the Central African Republic to the south, and Niger, Nigeria, and Cameroon to the west. The country, whose north is part of the Sahara Desert, is relatively sparsely populated. In addition to the country's largest city, the capital N'Djamena, larger towns include Moundou, Abéché, and Sarh.

The vast majority of residents work in agriculture. A large portion of the population lives below the poverty line despite the country's oil revenues. For more than 20 years, the country's Human Development Index has been one of the lowest in the world.

Chad was formerly a French colony. It gained independence in 1960. President Idriss Déby was head of state and government from 1990 until his assassination in 2021. Subsequently, a military council led by his son Mahamat assumed much of the power, but according to the Fragile States Index, Chad has been a failed state ever since.

According to several political indicators, the country remains authoritarian, lacks freedom, and is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Serious human rights violations continue to occur regularly in Chad.

Република Србија (Republika Srbija) - Хајдемо заједно (Zajedno Idemo)

Serbia is a landlocked country in Southeastern and Central Europe. Serbia is located in the center of the Balkan Peninsula and borders Hungary to the north, Romania and Bulgaria to the east, North Macedonia and Albania and Kosovo to the south, Montenegro to the southwest, and Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia to the west.

With a population of just over 6.7 million, Serbia ranks 22nd among European countries. The country's capital and metropolis is Belgrade; other major cities are Novi Sad, Niš, Kragujevac, and Subotica. Over 80 percent of the population are Serbs, with larger groups of Magyars, Roma, and Bosniaks also living there.

Serbia's recent history is shaped by its role as the largest constituent state of Yugoslavia. Since the final breakup of Yugoslavia in 2006, it has also been the "sole legal successor" to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, founded in 1992 (2003–2006 as the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro).

Serbia is a member of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) and the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA), and maintains other free trade agreements. The country's economic performance declined sharply as a result of the Yugoslav Wars; it recovered somewhat between 2003 and 2008.[9] After achieving important short-term successes in the EU accession process (including the entry into force of an interim agreement for trade facilitation with the EU and the abolition of visa requirements for Serbian citizens), Serbia submitted its candidacy for membership of the European Union on December 22, 2009, and was granted candidate country status on March 1, 2012.

Slovenská Republika - Spolu Kráčame

Slovakia Slovakia is a landlocked country in Central Europe, bordering Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, and Hungary. The capital and largest city is Bratislava; other important cities are Košice, Prešov, Žilina, Banská Bystrica, Nitra, and Trenčín.

Two-thirds of the country is mountainous, with a significant portion of the Carpathian Mountains forming part of the country. In the west, it extends to the part of the Vienna Basin north of the Danube, while the south and southeast, up to the Danube and a small part of the Tisza, are characterized by the foothills of the Pannonian Plain. Slovakia lies in the continental temperate climate zone, with differences between the lower-lying south and the mountainous north of the country.

The territory of present-day Slovakia was settled by the Slavs at the turn of the 5th and 6th centuries. Their first political entity was the Kingdom of Samo (7th century); later, Slovakia became one of the centers of the early medieval Moravian Kingdom. In the 11th century, Slovakia was incorporated into the Kingdom of Hungary, which was part of the Habsburg Monarchy from 1526 and part of Austria-Hungary from 1867. After the dissolution of the Dual Monarchy in 1918, Slovakia became part of the newly founded Czechoslovakia. With the dissolution of the latter by the Third Reich, the short-lived Slovak state emerged in 1939. After the end of World War II, the Czechoslovak Republic was restored in 1945. On January 1, 1993, following the peaceful partition of Czechoslovakia, the independent Slovak Republic was established as the nation state of the Slovaks.

Slovakia has been a member of the European Union and NATO since 2004. In 2007, border controls with EU member states were abolished under the Schengen Agreement, and Slovakia joined the Eurozone in 2009. The country is a democratic parliamentary republic. Slovakia forms the Visegrád Group with Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary.

The United Nations Development Programme ranks Slovakia among the most prosperous countries.

John Junior , Fluwo - Just Me (Original Mix)

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.
