I’m in the prime of my life and I feel the need to travel the world, all my friends have, but they all head a good lot of money. I, on the other hand, am broke. I know people travel all the time with little money… how do they do it? Just hitchhike about? Could I get odd jobs? I’m thinking Europe, Japan? Any experiences anyone could share? I feel like I haven’t lived. I’m in good physical shape and i’m quite sharp, I think I could survive, I just want to know how it’s been done…

I’m doing a research paper on the Macarthy Trials that which require me to learn about the era and how the media portrayed it. I also need to learn and write about how it is seen in the world today, much like the trials.

I remember seeing a news report couple of years ago that earth’s 5 billionth baby was born that day.
How is world population calculated so accurately?
It’s impossible to count each and every person on the planet. Also, in many countries health services are not so devloped to track each birth or maintain records of individuals or voters etc. By statistical methods we can have an approximate number but can never be sure which day 5 billionth person was born.

I assume it’s in the millions, but I’d love to know how many.

i.e.

which is the smallest nation?

which is the next one in size?

and then the next one?

How did they manage to become countries?
So, what would be the criteria for me to declare a piece of land as my own Kindgom and myself the absolute ruler of that place?
