Sāmoa Amelika/American Samoa - Matou

As part of American Oceania, American Samoa is a territory of the United States in the South Pacific. 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.

A special cultural feature of the entire archipelago is the coexistence of a modern American lifestyle and Samoan traditions.

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.

Sankattan Siha Na Islas Mariånas - Ta Hanao Gi Chalan

The Northern Mariana Islands, fully known as the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, are a sub-territory of the Mariana Islands, an unincorporated territory of the United States in the Pacific Ocean, south of Japan and north of Guam.

The area consists of 16 islands stretching over 500 kilometers, of which Saipan, Tinian, and Rota are the largest. The Marianas Trench Marine National Monument was designated there in 2009.

86 percent of the population speaks a language other than English in private, including Micronesian and Polynesian languages. Population growth is 2.8 percent per year. Due to the predominantly female migrant workers in the textile sector, the Northern Mariana Islands used to have the largest female-to-female ratio in the world at 1:0.77, but this is no longer the case following the collapse of the textile industry. The population has declined in recent years, to an estimated 55,000 in 2017.

Status Civitatis Vaticanae - Nos Sumus In Via

Vatican City is the smallest universally recognized state in the world, both in terms of area and population, and the only one with Latin as its official language. The city-state lies within the Italian capital, Rome, making it an enclave entirely surrounded by Italy and the only state in the world entirely surrounded by a city (Rome). Due to its small area of 0.44 km² and its total population of approximately 1,000, Vatican City is referred to as a dwarf state.

The state is an absolute elective monarchy, whose monarch is the Pope. He is elected by the cardinals and only leaves office upon death or resignation. The Holy See, as a non-state, independent subject of international law, distinct from Vatican City State, represents Vatican City at the international level, although both terms are sometimes used synonymously.

Taiwan - Women

Taiwan is an island nation in East Asia that is diplomatically recognized by only a few countries due to the One China Policy. Its territory consists of the main island of Taiwan (99%) and other smaller islands. This technologically advanced industrial nation, which produces well over half of all semiconductor components manufactured worldwide, has a population of approximately 23.5 million.

The Republic of China was proclaimed in Nanking on January 1, 1912, following the Xinhai Revolution on the Chinese mainland. The island of Taiwan, under Chinese rule from 1683 to 1895 and from 1895 to 1945 under the rule of the Japanese Empire, only returned to the Republic of China at the end of World War II. In 1949 – following the defeat in the civil war against the Communist Party and the founding of the People's Republic of China on the mainland – the government, elites, and armed forces of the Republic of China withdrew to the island of Taiwan. There, the Kuomintang, led by Chiang Kai-shek, established a one-party rule that lasted for several decades, maintaining a state of emergency. The second half of the 20th century was characterized by high economic growth; towards the end of the 1980s, the Kuomintang initiated a gradual democratization process. In several scales of democracy measurement, the Republic of China (Taiwan) is today, alongside Japan and South Korea, one of the most democratic states in Asia, comparable to Germany and Switzerland.

Even after the proclamation of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the government of the Republic of China initially represented the Chinese state at the United Nations and was a permanent member of the UN Security Council. As a result of the People's Republic's one-China policy, however, more and more states severed diplomatic relations with the Republic of China, which was forced to cede its UN membership to the People's Republic in 1971 with UN Resolution 2758. In 1979, the United States finally severed diplomatic relations after establishing official relations with the People's Republic (Taiwan Relations Act). Today, only a minority of the international community maintains formal diplomatic relations with the government in Taipei. The status of the Republic of China under international law is disputed and is the subject of the Taiwan conflict.

دولة فلسطين (Daulat Filastīn) - على الطريق (Ealaa Altariq)

The State of Palestine (Arabic دولة فلسطين, DMG Daulat Filasṭīn) is a de facto state in the Near East. He claims the areas of the West Bank including Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip. Palestine is recognized as a state by 146 of the 193 member states of the United Nations; The neighboring country Israel, the USA, the German-speaking countries and some other countries in the Western world do not do this, but maintain official relations with it.

In 1988, the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) declared independence, which has since claimed all of the territory occupied by Israel since 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital. From 1994 onwards, several agreements led to Israel's withdrawal and thus to limited independence for Palestine in the autonomous areas. In 2007, due to the Fatah-Hamas conflict, Palestine split into two territories: the West Bank, ruled by Fatah, with around three million inhabitants, and the Gaza Strip, ruled by the radical Islamic Hamas, with around two million inhabitants. Both the West Bank and the Gaza Strip are governed by authoritarian rule. After 2006, no elections were held in either area. Freedom of the press and freedom of expression are severely restricted.

In 2024, the International Court of Justice declared in a legal opinion that Israel was occupying the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and East Jerusalem in violation of international law. Israel must evacuate all Israeli settlers from the occupied territories and compensate for the damage caused by the occupation. The legal opinion is not binding.

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.
