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>The Marshall Islands consist of two chains of coral atolls, together with more than 1,000 islets, just north of the Equator. </p> <p>The atolls are coral deposits on the crater rims of submerged volcanoes. </p> <p>The islands were occupied by the US for several decades after World War II. They are now a sovereign nation under a Compact of Free Association with the US. </p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-15595431">Full Article</a>
