COUNTRIES

Student: Nika Mumladze

Switzerland

• Switzerland, officially called the Swiss Federation, is a

small country in Central Europe made up of 16,000
square miles of glacier-carved Alps, lakes and valleys.
It’s one of the world’s wealthiest countries, and has
been well-known for centuries for its neutrality.
 Canada
• Canada takes up about two-fifths of the
North American continent, making it the
second-largest country in the world after
Russia. Canada’s expansive wilderness to the
north plays a large role in Canadian identity,
as does the country’s reputation of
welcoming immigrants.
Japan

• Japan, one of the world’s most literate and

technically advanced nations, is an East Asian
country made up of four main islands. While most of
Japan is covered by mountains and heavily wooded
areas, the country’s roughly 126 million people lead a
distinctly urban lifestyle. Long culturally influenced
by its neighbors, today the country blends its ancient
traditions with aspects of Western life.
 Germany

• Germany, the most populous nation in the

European Union, possesses one of the
largest economies in the world and has seen
its role in the international community grow
steadily since reunification. The Central
European country borders nine nations, and
its landscape varies, from the northern plains
that reach to the North and Baltic seas to the
Bavarian Alps in the south.
 Australia
• The Commonwealth of Australia occupies
the Australian continent. The country also
includes some islands, most notably
Tasmania. Indigenous people occupied the
land for at least 40,000 years before the first
British settlements of the 18th century.
 United Kingdom
• The United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland, commonly known as the
United Kingdom (UK or U.K.) or Britain, is a
sovereign country located off the north­
western coast of the European mainland.
The United Kingdom includes the island of
Great Britain, the north­eastern part of the
island of Ireland, and many smaller islands
United States

• The United States of America is a North

American nation that is the world’s most
dominant economic and military power.
Likewise, its cultural imprint spans the world,
led in large part by its popular culture
expressed in music, movies and television
 Sweden

• The Kingdom of Sweden, flanked by Norway

to the west and the Baltic Sea to the east,
expands across much of the Scandinavian
Peninsula and is one of the largest countries
in the European Union by land mass. Capital
city Stockholm was claimed in the 16th
century, and border disputes through the
Middle Ages established the modern-day
nation.
Netherlands

• Situated along the fringes of Western

Europe, the Netherlands is a coastal lowland
freckled with windmills characteristic of its
development around the water. Three major
European rivers - the Rhine, Meuse and
Schelde - run through neighbors Germany
and Belgium into the nation’s busy ports.
 Norway

The Kingdom of Norway is the westernmost country in the Scandinavian peninsula, made up mostly of
mountainous terrain. Nearly all of its population lives in the south, surrounding the capital, Oslo. Norway’s
coastline is made up of thousands of miles of fjords, bays and island shores. The Norwegians developed a
maritime culture, and were active throughout the Viking era, establishing settlements in Iceland and
Greenland.
