சிங்கப்பூர் குடியரசு (Ciṅkappūr Kudiyarasu) - கிட்ட டி ஜலான் (Kiṭṭa Ṭi Jalāṉ)

Singapore is an island and city-state in Southeast Asia. It lies off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula and is separated from it by the Strait of Johor. With an area of ​​728.6 square kilometers, Singapore has the smallest territory in Southeast Asia. With almost 6 million inhabitants, Singapore is the most populous microstate in the world. The former British crown colony gained independence from Malaysia on August 9, 1965, and is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. The official languages ​​are Malay, Mandarin, Tamil, and English, with Malay being the national language.

After early years of political crises and despite a lack of natural resources and virtually no hinterland, the nation developed into one of the four Asian Tigers: Singapore is the only country in Asia with an "AAA" credit rating from all major rating agencies and is an important financial and logistics hub; it is considered, alongside Hong Kong, the most important financial center in Asia. This makes Singapore one of the richest countries (and cities) in the world and also ranks among the cities with the highest cost of living in the world.

The city-state scores highly on key social indicators: education, healthcare, quality of life, personal safety, and public housing, with a homeownership rate of 91 percent. Residents enjoy one of the highest life expectancies, the fastest internet connection speeds, and one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world. The United Nations Development Program ranks Singapore among the "very high human development" countries.

Singapore is a parliamentary republic, but the People's Action Party has held a dominant position in the state since its founding in 1959 and was at one point the only party in parliament. Internationally controversial is the country's very strict legal system, which even provides for corporal punishment for a range of offenses considered misdemeanors by European standards, up to and including the death penalty for serious crimes, particularly as a deterrent.

The republic regulates the multi-ethnic coexistence between Chinese, Malays, and Indians, who constitute the largest population groups, by law in order to "enforce peace and equality."

After all, with more than eleven million foreign tourists a year, the city-state is one of the ten most visited cities in the world (2015).

République de Côte d’Ivoire - Yé Fo Yé Gnè

Ivory Coast is a country in West Africa. It borders Liberia, Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Ghana, and the Atlantic Ocean to the south.

The country, which gained independence from France on August 7, 1960, was politically stable for decades and was governed by the PDCI (Parti Démocratique de Côte d'Ivoire) unity party of then-President Houphouët-Boigny. Export revenues from cocoa and coffee guaranteed relative prosperity. To this day, Ivory Coast remains the world's largest exporter of cocoa. Internal tensions led to the end of PDCI rule in 1990. With increasing economic difficulties caused by the decline in cocoa prices, conflicts escalated and led to a civil war-like situation that tore the country in two in 2002. Since the 2007 peace agreement, efforts have been made to reconcile and reunify Ivory Coast. Since then, it has been one of Africa's fastest-growing economies.

Yamoussoukro has been the official capital since 1983. The seat of government is located in the former capital, Abidjan, which remains the economic and political center of the country.

Mālō Saʻoloto Tūtoʻatasi o Sāmoa - Tatou Faatasi

Samoa is an island nation in Polynesia that encompasses the western part of the Samoa Islands and was therefore officially called Western Samoa (Sāmoa i Sisifo) until 1997. The nation gained independence from New Zealand in 1962 as a former United Nations Trust Territory. It is also a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. The eastern part of the region, American Samoa, has been a territory of the United States since 1929.

Many islands have beaches with offshore reefs and a wild, rainforest-covered interior with gorges and waterfalls. In addition to the island of Upolu, where most of Samoa's inhabitants live, the country also includes Savai'i, one of the largest islands in the South Pacific. While some of the smaller islands have villages, others are uninhabited or designated as wildlife sanctuaries.

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.

Dominicana - Con Su Calor

Dominican Republic is an island state located on the island of Hispaniola in the Greater Antilles between the Atlantic and the Caribbean. Almost two thirds (63.7%) of it covers the east and center of the island, while the western part belongs to the Republic of Haiti.

The nationals are called Dominicans in German. The Dominican Republic is easily confused with the island of Dominica, which is part of the Lesser Antilles and whose nationals are called Dominicans.

The name of the state is derived from the capital Santo Domingo, which in turn is named after the founder of the Dominican Order, Saint Dominic (Latin Dominicus).

República de Nicaragua - Nahual Eterno

Nicaragua is a country in Central America. It borders Honduras to the north and Costa Rica to the south, the Pacific to the west and the Caribbean to the east.

The country's name is derived from Nahuatl (Nican 'here', Aráhuac 'people'). Other authors attribute the country's name to the encounter between the Spanish conquistador Gil González Dávila and the cacique Nicarao, which took place on October 15, 1523 near San Jorge/Rivas.

President José Daniel Ortega Saavedra came to power in a controversial election in 2006 and has been clinging to it ever since using dictatorial means. Due to his poor health, his wife and vice president Rosario Murillo takes over many government tasks; Observers assume that she largely leads the country. Due to the numerous human rights violations, the EU and the USA are sanctioning members of the Nicaraguan government around Ortega.

Jamhuriyar Taraiyar Nijeriya - A Wa Lójú Ònà

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.

MAUREAL. feat. Aurelia Fox- Silent Dream

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.
