Overview <p>Germany is Europe&#039;s most industrialized and populous country. Famed for its technological achievements, it has also produced some of Europe&#039;s most celebrated composers, philosophers and poets.</p> <p>Achieving national unity later than other European nations, Germany quickly caught up economically and militarily, before defeats in World War I and II left the country shattered, facing the difficult legacy of Nazism, and divided between Europe&#039;s Cold War blocs.</p> <p>Germany rebounded to become the continent&#039;s economic giant, and a prime mover of European cooperation. With the end of the Cold War, the two parts of the country were once again united, although the economy of the former east continues to lag behind that of the former west.</p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17299607">Full Article</a> <p>The residents of the Pacific island of Niue are far outnumbered by their compatriots who have migrated to New Zealand.</p> <p>Home to fewer than 2,000 islanders, the self-governing coral atoll is trying to encourage some of the 20,000 overseas Niueans - many of them New Zealand-born - to return. </p> <p>Niue operates in free association with New Zealand, its main source of aid and its biggest trading partner. New Zealand is obliged under the island&#039;s constitution to provide &quot;necessary economic and administrative assistance&quot;. All Niueans are New Zealand citizens and can take up residency there.</p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-16536890">Full Article</a>
