Overview	<p>Australia ranks as one of the best places to live in the world by all indices of income, human development, healthcare and civil rights. The sixth-largest country in the world by land mass, its comparatively small population is concentrated in the highly-urbanised east of the Australian continent. </p> <p>The political entity that is modern Australia began to come into being with the arrival of British settlers in 1788. Many of the first settlers were convicts, but freemen started to arrive in increasing numbers after the discovery of gold in the mid-19th century. </p> <p>Aboriginal Australians, who had inhabited the continent for tens of thousands of years prior to British colonisation, numbered a few hundred thousand. Two centuries of discrimination and expropriation cut their population drastically, and now they make up less than 3% of Australia&#039;s approximately 23 million people.</p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-15674351">Full Article</a>	<p>Controlling access to the Red Sea, Djibouti is of major strategic importance, a fact that has ensured a steady flow of foreign assistance.</p> <p>During the Gulf War it was the base of operations for the French military, who continue to maintain a significant presence.</p> <p>France has thousands of troops as well as warships, aircraft and armoured vehicles in Djibouti, contributing directly and indirectly to the country&#039;s income. The US has stationed hundreds of troops in Djibouti, its only African base, in an effort to counter terrorism in the region.</p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-13231761">Full Article</a>
