National identity card	The Documento Nacional de Identidad is issued at a person's birth, and updated at 8 and 14 years of age, and thereafter renewed every fifteen years. For many years, the DNI was issued as a small booklet (called libreta ). In 2009, the DNI was revamped and digitalized; and booklets were issued along with a card (called tarjeta) simultaneously. Since 2012, DNIs are issued only in card format. The new DNI card is required to obtain a new Argentine Passport .	Although it is not compulsory to carry a proof of identity at all times, since 1 January 2005 it is compulsory to show identification, when an authorized officer asks for it, from the age of 14. An authorized officer can only do so under certain circumstances. Such circumstances include suspicious behaviour, committing any offense, or if a person is interviewed as a witness of a crime. Identity checks at events where the public order may be in danger are also allowed. Otherwise random identity checks by the police are not allowed in principle but can happen in certain areas such as a train station or doubtful areas i.e. redlight district, and a fine for not showing proof of identity may be successfully challenged in such cases. The fine for not being able to show proof of identity when legally required is \u20ac 60.- (16 and over) or \u20ac 30.- (14 or 15). Proof of identity is also required when opening a bank account and when entering an employment contract.

Overview	<p>Argentina stretches 4,000 km from its sub-tropical north to the sub-antarctic south. </p> <p>Its terrain includes part of the Andes mountain range, swamps, the plains of the Pampas and a long coastline. Its people have had to struggle with military dictatorship, a lost war over the Falkland Islands, and severe economic difficulties. </p> <p>Argentina is rich in resources, has a well-educated workforce and is one of South America&#039;s largest economies. But it has also fallen prey to a boom and bust cycle. </p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-18707514">Full Article</a>	<p>The Netherlands&#039; name reflects its low-lying topography, with more than a quarter of its total area under sea level.</p> <p>Now a constitutional monarchy, the country began its independent life as a republic in the 16th century, when the foundations were laid for it to become one of the world&#039;s foremost maritime trading nations. </p> <p>Although traditionally among the keener advocates of the European Union, Dutch voters echoed those in France by spurning the proposed EU constitution in a 2005 referendum. </p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17740800">Full Article</a>
