Namiba

 The capital is Windhoek.

The Caprivi strip is a long panhandle. The UK (who colonized Namibia) made a deal with Germany, because the germans wanted to connect the north and south of Africa, but the British kept blocking the way, and so The UK wanted Zanzibar island and in return, the Caprivi strip was made as a way for the germans to gain access to the Zambezi river and it goes all the way to the east coast, and Germany asked for Heligoland, and the deal was made and guess what now the British have Victoria falls :D.

Also, they have Lots of Meteorites.

They are the top 10 producers of diamonds.

2.7 Million People.

They made the Click language. 

CATS

  Cats can learn their names each other's names and your name.

Scientists showed photos of the cats they lived with and played audio footage of the cats shown.

 But sometimes different audio would play, and the cats would stare at the screen longer due to the fact that the audio was different.

Also, they did the same for humans.

They used a control group from cat cafes because cats from cat cafes have no time to learn humans names because so many humans and cats come and go there is no reason to learn the names of the human beans.
















(Yes the word beans is intensional)

War of the bucket

 Yeah, a bucket is a war of the bucket.

The pope had to fight for power and in the roman empire many of them were killed, the pope was controlled by kings and nobility for two centuries.

The dark age was an age when the pope was controlled and held parties and also a pope named pope john the 12th was mixed up with the gods like Zeus and others, he also was killed by a husband that saw him cheating on his wife with and threw him out of the window.

The pope was mainly used to give kings more power and in 800ad, king Charlemagne king of the franks, wanted the pope to crown him as emperor in return for protection from the king, the next day he was crowned but he was like "what I crowned" and the pope said, "if you don't want to be crowned emperor of the west than ok then,".

Charlemagne being crowned as emperor was a very historical part and it made that only the pope could crown the emperor, but the pope was under the power of the king so. It was a circular power division.

While the Bishop of Freising was in Bologna the townspeople did a tour of the town and then they showed the bucket to the bishop and he insulted the bucket.

King Charlemagne and the franks slowly turned into the holy roman empire and the pope and the emperor were not good friends because they did not know who had more power King Charlemagne invested in his own bishops and abbots, and the holy roman empire was not really an empire, because it was made out of hundreds of counties, duchies, and others, the princes of the counties and duchies did not give the king their loyalty, the german nobility spent their time rebelling against the Charlemagne and he was trying to quell their relabelling, the king wanted to remove most of the nobility, but he can't just remove them so instead he got some bishops and abbots that he chose his family and loyal followers to powerful church positions and that made him more power and authority, also they were doing something called simony, basically, powerful church positions were the highest bidders, yeah and they were not cheap too.

As you can presume the pope was not happy.

In 1050, Reformist popes wanted to stop the emperor from abusing the church to increase his power, but the circular power division if the pope tried to stop the emperor he could just depose the pope, but THEN the emperor got Tuberculosis and died, yup dead, the emperor's 6-year-old child took over and the pope took advantage and made himself more powerful and made sure that the 6-year-old could not choose a pope, only the church cardinals, and he wrote down what powers he was giving himself, he has the power to depose emperors, only he can reinstate bishops, this name was the only name in the world (kinda odd tho).

Once the emperor (who is now an adult heard about this he was unsurprisingly angry, and the emperor said to the pope "you're deposed" then the pope went "aww", then the pope responded "you're deposed then the emperor said "aww", then the emperor said "WAIT YOUR DEPOSED", after the emperor apologized to the pope. 

The Bologna people were starting a cult for the bucket, yes the bucket.

Some people supported the pope while some people supported the emperor.

Modena and Bologna were not really friends,  they fought a lot in 1325, the bolognese burned farmland and Passerino dei Bonaccorsi (A person from Modena) had none of it, and took a small army to a fort to siege it, but then the people at the fort just handed it over.

The bolognese was pretty mad about losing one of their forts, fun fact that the bucket being stolen at the start of the war was probably not the reason the war started.

Bologna had a bigger army than Modena so Bologna started a siege on the fort held by the Modenese, Bologna's main army sieged the Modenese fort, while a smaller part of their army was blocking a river so that the Modeneses could not interfere.

So the Modenese faked the Bologna army by going up the river and quickly moving down the river to get through Bologna's army.

Bologna was expecting the Modenese army to attack the fort that the Bologna army was trying to get back (Yeah very confusing right? anyway) the Bolognese did not want to lose both forts.

By this time it was almost nighttime, most armies would make camp and then continue the next day but the outnumbered Modenese attacked the unprepared Bolognese, the Modenese did a move that was so impressive that they won the battle due to the surprisingly powerful move called "Attack from behind."

With deaths in the thousands, The Modense won and went on a spree of burning down stuff on the way, and when they got to the Bolognese city they had a celebration for three days about "you lost L." 

As they were about to leave the Modenese found the Bucket the Modesese used an artesian well instead of using buckets, so the Modenese stole the bucket, and it was moved to the city hall and it is still there to this day (rusted btw), the Bolonese was made to pay for war reparations and in return, Modena had to give back the forts.

 

Steel

Almost 1000 times stronger than iron, known for sewing needles, one of the most recycled materials on earth.

Also used in construction and is great for that due to the fact it does not get thermites and does not warp nor crack.

Aswell used in cans (not only tin cans).

The U.S.S. New York uses steel, 7.5 tons of steel were used on the ship and their can house up to 700 Marines.

Exercising inside

Exercising inside is more complicated due to the fact about heat getting trapped inside the house, when you exercise your body heats up and the heat goes into the air, and if you are inside the heat is trapped in the house and makes it more difficult for your body to cool down, but if you are outside then the heat can escape to the air, and 10c is the best temperature for working out indoors, ideally you want the air to be cool so that your body does not have as hard to cool off.

Myanmar

 Myanmar is Burma.

The capital is Naypyidaw but Yangon was the old capital but they moved it to Naypyidaw.

Also, Naypyidaw has a 20-lane highway (most likely wanted to use for an emergency landing site for planes).

Mostly known for procuring gems and valuable stones, and 90% of the rubies come from here.

Population off 56milion people.

Currency of Kyat (pronounced Chaat).

And they are one of the 3 countries that use the Metric system.

The Military is one of the most powerful in Myanmar.

Volcanos killed kingdoms

 a volcano can be dangerous not only because of not only the lava nearby the volcano but the atmospheric air changes, the ash in the air from a volcano can affect other countries too, some volcanos affected Egypt to the degree that the Nile river was affected.

Also Many scientists believe that many Chinese dynasties fell due to the fact of the volcanos.

Goffers

 They are known for ruining farmland, but pocket gofers are eating plant roots but it is tiring to dig, the tunnels that the pocket gofers are digging are bigger than other golfers.

By dining tunnels, the plants get nutrients and grow faster and better and if the scientist blocked off the tunnel then the plants grew slower, the specific pocket gofers put their waste around the tunnels as fertilizer to make the roots grow faster.

Mozambique

Civil wars.

portuguese speaking African nation, yeah Portuguese,

 Poaching is a problem here with the illegal ivory trade.

They have a lot of beaches to cater to the rich and wealthy and if you look at their reserots then you can see why

Currency is Mozambique Metical 

Pasta

 Salting pasta does not make it cook faster BUT it does increase the boiling and freezing point of the item that is being cooked/frozen it does increase the boiling point by 0.05 which does nothing to the amount of time in cooking it.

But still salt the pasta because it tastes good :D

Morocco

In Africa but bordering Spain.

Capital Rabat.

Goats climb trees here, yeah trees.

And they have phosphor mines and are the largest exporter of sardines

30 million population.

A monarchy.

World-renowned for textiles and pottery.
