The United Kingdom is a country located in the British Isles off the northwest coast of continental Europe, forming the largest island nation in Europe.

U. K. is a union of four countries, usually referred to in English as countries or nations: England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. London is the capital and most populous city of the United Kingdom, as well as one of the world's largest cultural, commercial, and financial centers. Other important cities include Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Liverpool, and Belfast.

The British Empire, which existed under the rule of the United Kingdom from the 17th to the 20th century, is considered the largest colonial empire in history. During the industrialization of the 18th century, the United Kingdom developed into the first industrialized nation and was the leading world power (Pax Britannica) from the fall of France after the Napoleonic Wars in the early 19th century until the rise of the United States in the late 19th century.

Today, the United Kingdom, with just over 68 million inhabitants, is the fourth most populous country in Europe, after Russia, Germany, and France. The most populous part of the country is England, with approximately 56 million inhabitants, while Scotland has around 5.5 million, Wales 3.1 million, and Northern Ireland 1.9 million. Measured by nominal gross domestic product, it is the sixth-largest economy in the world, after India and ahead of France. Furthermore, the country enjoys a high standard of living and education, as well as a high life expectancy.

The United Kingdom is a founding member of NATO and the United Nations. It is a nuclear power, a permanent member of the UN Security Council, and one of the G7 countries. From 1973 until its withdrawal in 2020, it was a member of the EEC and later the European Union.

United States of America - Voices

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.

Commonwealth of Australia - We Hit The Road

Winner of the week: 🥇42

Australia is a state in the southern hemisphere of the earth, which includes the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania to its south, the sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island with its subsidiary islands and, as external areas, the Pacific Norfolk Island, the Cocos Islands, Christmas Island, the Ashmore and Cartier Islands as well as Heard and the McDonald Islands in the Indian Ocean. The country has also laid claim to the Australian Antarctic Territory since 1933. With the Antarctic Treaty, enforcement was postponed indefinitely. Australia's neighbors are New Zealand in the southeast and Indonesia, East Timor and Papua New Guinea in the north.

Australia has around 27.2 million inhabitants and is sparsely populated. With an area of ​​more than 7.6 million km², it ranks sixth among the countries in the world.

República Federativa do Brasil - Estamos Avançando

Winner of the week: 🥇37

Brazil is the fifth largest country in terms of area and, with around 214 million inhabitants, the seventh largest country in the world. It is also the largest country in South America in terms of area and population, occupying 47.3 percent of its area. With the exception of Chile and Ecuador, Brazil shares a border with every other South American country. The name Brazil comes from the Portuguese name pau-brasil for the brazilwood tree (Paubrasilia echinata).

According to a “sensational discovery”, the traces of human settlement are said to go back around 30,000 years, but according to current scientific opinion, a maximum of 15,000 years. After the European discovery of America and the division of the South American continent by the Treaty of Tordesillas, Brazil became a Portuguese colony. This colonial period, which lasted more than three centuries and in which immigrants of various origins came to Brazil (voluntarily or by force), contributed significantly to Brazil's current ethnic diversity. After gaining state independence in 1822, which was followed by a period of constitutional monarchy, the country became a republic in 1889 as the United States of Brazil. After the period of military dictatorship from 1964, the country returned to democracy with a presidential system of government in 1985.

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.

Россия (Rossiya) - Мы на пути (My Na Puti)

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).

Italia - Siamo In Cammino

Winner of the week: 🥇40

Italy is a country in southern Europe. The capital and most populous city is Rome and the economic and financial center is Milan.

The Italian territory lies largely on the Apennine Peninsula, which is surrounded on three sides by the Mediterranean Sea, the adjoining northern Italian plain and in the southern Alpine arc. There are also the large islands of Sicily and Sardinia as well as several smaller island groups. Land borders exist with France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia as well as with the small states of Vatican City and San Marino, which are completely surrounded by Italian territory.

Many significant contributions to the cultural and historical heritage of Europe and the world have been made in Italy. The area that is now Italy was the core region of the Roman Empire in ancient times. The city of Rome has also been one of the most important centers of Christianity since late antiquity until today. Tuscany and the rival Italian city-states formed the heartland of the Renaissance. Italy was also a cultural center in the Baroque and Classical eras. Italy is now the country with the most UNESCO World Heritage Sites (58) and one of the most visited countries in the world with around 65 million tourists every year.

With the Risorgimento, the modern Italian nation state emerged in the 19th century: from 1861 to 1946, the Kingdom of Italy existed under the House of Savoy, which was rapidly industrialized, rose to become a major European power and, from the 1880s, established a colonial empire in North and East Africa. The costly and costly participation in the First World War from 1915 to 1918 led to the expansion of the national territory, but also to serious social unrest and paved the way to power for the Italian fascists. The fascist regime ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943/45 and led the country into the Second World War on the side of the Axis powers in 1940, which ended in defeat in 1945 and led to the loss of colonies and minor cessions of territory. In June 1946, the monarchy was abolished by a referendum and the current republic was proclaimed.

According to the Human Development Index, Italy is one of the most developed countries in the world as an industrial country. In terms of gross domestic product, Italy is the third largest economy in the European Union and the eighth largest in the world. The country enjoys a high standard of living and education and has one of the highest life expectancies. The Italian armed forces are among the most powerful in the world and are ranked as the fourth strongest within NATO.

Italy is a co-initiator of European integration and a founding member of the European Union, the Council of Europe, NATO and the Latin Union. The country is a member of the G7, the G20, the United Nations (UNO), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the World Trade Organization (WTO).

中國 (Zhōngguó) - 在路上 (Zài Lùshàng)

Winner of the week: 🥇15

The People's Republic of China is a state in East Asia. With more than 1.4 billion inhabitants (2020), China is the second most populous country in the world after India and the third largest country in terms of total area. According to its socialist constitution, the People's Republic of China is "under the democratic dictatorship of the people", but has been from the beginning Governed throughout by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in an authoritarian to totalitarian manner. To this day she is accused of serious human rights violations.

Since 2016, the World Bank has classified the country as one of the states with an income level in the upper middle range. On average, China's economic power grew by 8.9% annually from 2000 to 2019. In addition to the doubling of China's share of world trade, the gross domestic product increased sixfold during this time, so that by the end of that period China had grown into the second largest economy in the world. However, according to observers, since the "Outstanding Leader" Xi Jinping came to power in 2012, the People's Republic has again taken steps backwards in social and economic freedom and has become increasingly ideologically and internationally aggressive.

The People's Republic of China is the world's largest exporter, the second largest importer, the country with the largest industrial production, the second highest spending on research and development, the second largest total national wealth, the largest standing army and the second largest defense budget and, depending on the source, is considered an emerging or already established country Superpower of the 21st century alongside the United States.

The People's Republic of China is one of the official nuclear powers and, as one of the five official victors of the Second World War, is a permanent member of the World Security Council and a member of the World Trade Organization, World Bank, APEC, BRICS, UNESCO, Interpol and G20, among others.

Bosna i Hercegovina - Koračamo Zajedno

Winner of the week: 🥇41

Bosnia is a southeastern European federal state. Geographically, it consists of the Bosnia region in the north - which occupies around 80 percent of the national territory - and the smaller Herzegovina region in the south. The federal state's political areas are the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republika Srpska and the Brčko District as a special administrative region. The state's capital and largest city is Sarajevo; other major cities are Banja Luka, Tuzla, Zenica, Bijeljina and Mostar.

The national territory lies east of the Adriatic Sea on the Balkan Peninsula and is almost entirely in the Dinaric Mountains. Neighboring states are Croatia to the north and west, Serbia to the east and Montenegro to the southeast. The state also has an approximately 25 kilometer long coastal strip on the Adriatic near Neum in the Neum corridor. The Bosnian-Herzegovinian population was a good 3.3 million in 2020 (see Bosnians and Herzegovinians).

The state in its current form emerged from the Dayton Agreement (1995) and, according to this, is the legal successor to the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was founded immediately after a referendum at the beginning of 1992 and was the only internationally recognized of a total of four state entities on the island during the Bosnian War territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Treaty of Dayton ended war within the country and created a unified but highly decentralized (federalist) state. Today Bosnia and Herzegovina consists of the two entities Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (populated mostly by Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats) and Republika Srpska (populated mostly by Bosnian Serbs). The Brčko special administrative region was subsequently created from parts of the pre-war Brčko municipality belonging to both entities and today functions as a condominium for both entities, but manages itself independently.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is a member of the Central European Free Trade Agreement, the United Nations, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (observer status), the Council of Europe, a participant in the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the Cooperation Council for Southeastern Europe. Furthermore, the state has been an official candidate for NATO membership since 2010. At the summit of the EU member states in Brussels on December 15, 2022, Bosnia and Herzegovina was officially granted status as a candidate for accession to the European Union. On March 12, 2024, the EU Commission recommended starting accession negotiations. On March 21, 2024, at the EU summit in Brussels, the heads of state and government of the European Union agreed to start accession negotiations with Bosnia and Herzegovina.

جمهوری اسلامی ايران (Dschomhuri-ye Eslāmi-ye Irān) - می رویم جلو (Mi Ravim Jelo)

Winner of the week: 🥇20

Iran (historically as an exonym until 1935 and partly beyond that, Persia) is a country in the Near East. The country is bordered by the Caspian Sea to the north and the Persian Gulf to the south.

With around 90 million inhabitants (as of 2024) and an area of ​​around 1.65 million square kilometers, the state of Iran is one of the 20 most populous and largest countries in the world. The capital, largest city and economic and cultural center is Tehran with 8.7 million inhabitants; other cities with more than 1.5 million inhabitants are Mashhad, Isfahan, Karaj, Shiraz and Tabriz. In early antiquity, the Persian Empire was a powerful civilization in today's national territory.

Since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, Iran has been ruled in an authoritarian manner by a Shiite “Supreme Leader” (Ali Khamenei since 1989). Other political institutions have little power and exist more in appearance. The regime regularly commits serious violations of human rights. It also controls almost every aspect of daily life in terms of religious and ideological conformity, thereby curtailing the freedom of every citizen. Iran is a member of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

Since the Islamic Revolution, Iran's good relations with Western states have turned into open hostility, which is firmly anchored in the state ideology, especially with regard to the formerly friendly USA and Israel. However, relations with Russia and China have deepened, especially since the late 2010s, and there are also military cooperations with both. In particular, Iran supports Russia in the war against Ukraine.

In the Middle East, Iran is a regional power and leads an unofficial military coalition with the Axis of Resistance, which includes, among others, the authoritarian governments in Syria and Gaza as well as Hezbollah and Houthis. With this it fights in several wars against other regional powers such as Israel and Saudi Arabia, such as the war in Syria, the war in Yemen and the war in Israel and Gaza.

Thanks to its natural resources, especially the world's largest natural gas and fourth-largest oil reserves, Iran has a major influence on the world's supply of fossil fuels. Apart from that, the Iranian economy was in a deep crisis for a long time, due, among other things, to the high proportion of inefficient state-owned companies, corruption and the sanctions as a result of the conflict over the Iranian nuclear program.

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.

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.

Finland is a parliamentary republic in Northern Europe, a member of the European Union since 1995 and a member of NATO since 2023. Finland borders Sweden, Norway, Russia and the Baltic Sea.

With around 5.5 million inhabitants in an area almost the size of Germany, Finland is one of the most sparsely populated countries in Europe. The majority of the population lives in the south of the country with the capital Helsinki and the major cities Espoo, Tampere, Vantaa and Turku. The two official languages ​​are Finnish and Swedish, with 88.7% of the population speaking Finnish and 5.3% speaking Swedish. The monolingual Swedish archipelago of Åland has extensive autonomous status.

Finland has been inhabited by humans since the end of the last ice age. From the migration period onwards, Finland came into greater contact with the rest of Europe through the expanding Baltic Sea trade; it was Christianized in the High Middle Ages. Finland was part of Sweden for centuries. In the 18th century it increasingly came under the influence of the expanding Russian Empire and was incorporated into it in 1809 as the Grand Duchy of Finland. With the introduction of women's suffrage in 1906, Finland was the first country in Europe to introduce active women's suffrage at the national level and was the third country in the world after New Zealand and Australia. When it comes to passive suffrage, Finland's leading position is even clearer: for the first time in the world, women were elected to a parliament.

The fall of the Russian Tsar (Nicholas II abdicated in mid-March 1917) and the October Revolution of 1917 enabled Finland to break away from Russia. On December 6, 1917, the Finnish Parliament passed the Finnish Declaration of Independence.

Winner of the week: 🥇33

India is a state in South Asia. India covers most of the Indian subcontinent. The Himalayas form India's natural northern border, and the Indian Ocean surrounds the national territory in the south. India borders Pakistan, the Chinese Tibet Autonomous Region, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar and Bangladesh. Other neighboring countries in the Indian Ocean are Sri Lanka and the Maldives. In terms of land area, India is the seventh largest country in the world. With around 1.426 billion inhabitants, India has been the most populous country in the world since April 2023, ahead of the People's Republic of China and therefore the most populous democracy in the world. Due to increasing modernization, education, prosperity and urbanization, the birth rate has been falling since the early 1980s.

The Federal Republic of India is made up of 28 states and eight federal territories. The capital is New Delhi, part of the Delhi metropolis. The most populous city and also the economic and financial center is Mumbai. Other metropolitan areas include Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Pune.

The territory of India has been civilized at least since the Bronze Age Indus Civilization. Since its independence from the United Kingdom and the British Empire in 1947, it has been a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, initially as an empire with the British monarch as Emperor of India, and since 1950 as a democratic and secular republic. Since then, India's political system has been based on a parliamentary republic modeled on the British Westminster system.

Despite constitutional freedom of religion, Indian society is dominated by a religiously hierarchical caste system. By far the largest religious group is Hindus, followed by Muslims, Christians, and the Sikhs, Buddhists, and Jains, who historically originate from India. The United Nations Development Program ranks India among the countries with medium human development. In the 2021 Human Development Index, India ranked 132nd out of 191 countries worldwide.

Economically, India is considered an emerging market. It belongs to the O5 and BRICS countries and to the Group of Twenty (G20). Despite its low per capita income and wealth, in some cases severe poverty, high unemployment, and pronounced income inequality, India is the third and sixth largest economies in the world (adjusted for purchasing power and in nominal terms), respectively, due to its large population. In 2015, the country was the fastest-growing economy in the G20 for the first time, has developed into a center for information technology and services, and boasts a steadily growing middle class and one of the world's largest software industries.

Hindu nationalist politician Narendra Modi has been Prime Minister of India since 2014. Since then, critics have increasingly criticized his authoritarian tendencies and the restriction of minority rights.

República Argentina - Vamos Por El Camino

Winner of the month: 🏆Jul'25
Winner of the week: 🥇36

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.

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.
