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>Ethiopia is Africa&#039;s oldest independent country and its second largest in terms of population. Apart from a five-year occupation by Mussolini&#039;s Italy, it has never been colonised. </p> <p>It has a unique cultural heritage, being the home of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church - one of the oldest Christian churches - and a monarchy that ended only in the coup of 1974. </p> <p>It served as a symbol of African independence throughout the colonial period, and was a founder member of the United Nations and the African base for many international organisations.</p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-13349398">Full Article</a>
