Europe

16 countries have adopted the Euro, 5 other countries use the Euro with formal agreements (these are places such as the Vatican). 6 other districts or countries use the euro without formal agreement; these include Andorra - which doesn't have an official currency, and Akrotiri and Dhakalia - a British sovereign base area in Cyprus.

Countries outside of Europe have adopted the euro for international transactions (an example is Cuba).

The grammar is awful in the answer provided. Also, I know there are more socialist or "socialistic" countries than Sweden. Surely some government professor or historian could provide a better answer.

The EU was formed through many steps, so giving a definite answer in a broader sense is impossible. This process started in the late 50's, early 60's. The EU of today was formed in 1992. Look up the Treaties of the EU.

It was also created to improve the relationships between the countries in the Europe.

The countries with autocratic governments are:Belarus, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Iran, Libya, Maldives, Togo, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Zimbabwe are run by autocrats.

Many other countries are run by authoritarian republics though, meaning they are run by one person or party which do not allow opposition.

With all the benefits to the EU you still find countries that do not want to join. I find that there are two types of countries which don't want to join the EU. The first types are nations that have substantially higher standards of living then the rest of the EU. The EU would be detrimental to their country and lower the standard of living because countries in the EU that aren't as successful would be getting part of their profits. Norway for example would not benefit because the EU is a system in where everyone contributes money and resources. The wealthier nations contribute to balance the less wealthy nations, helping everyone gain stability. Also countries that is rich in a resource and lack in another trade with countries that have that resource. All political and economic decisions are made on a larger scale through the EU's system of government. Although the EU does give countries access to a rich market and protection from countries outside of the EU making the EU a sort of "super-nation" that collaborates on issues in any of their included nations.

Norway is a NATO country, with a lot of oil reserves generating a high profit for the nation which only has 4 million inhabitants and highest living standards in the world. It is protected by NATO because of its strategic importance of its oil resources. It also has access to the European market through the EFTA (European Free Trade Association). With all those factors in mind there is nothing for it to gain by joining the EU but only something to loose. This is common between many nations that are not in the EU.

The second kind is are the Eastern European countries that have difficulty agreeing with the EU on a few ideology issues such as control and higher government and because they are still emerging nations they are not ready to turn their sovereignty to this higher level. Many of the EU's strict regulations placed on the countries are directed to ensure that the involved countries become dependent on the EU and wouldn't be able to make it if they ever wanted to withdraw from the EU. Just in case another nation such as Russia created a band of nations that offered a different more appealing union for them to join into to make themselves a sort of "super-nation" that can monopolize the market and trade. This would make Russia an "untouchable" empire that would be able to wage war and control market prices on many resources that they control. The EU has a valid point in ensuring that no nation get to large, although there are some nations that are reluctant to join the EU because of the control that the EU would ultimately gain by the addition of their nation and the inability for them to get out if a situation ever did arrive in which they would want to become a sovereign nation again. There is Eastern European countries that feel with the boom in technology and the use for previously useless resources that it would be beneficial for them to conduct business on their own to guarantee a potential economic boom in a new field of technology or resources that they are rich in.

The European Union does not have a capital. It is an organisation not a place. Brussels, the capital of Belgium, is the city regarded as having its headquarters. This is where most of the EU institutions are based.

It is the policy of the EU to put as many institutions as possible in different countries. Major institutions are found in Luxembourg, Strasbourg, the European central bank is in Frankfurt-am-Main, and others are in many other cities.

The idea of NATO was that if the USSR attempted to invade any member of that alliance, the other members would come to the rescue of that invaded nation. There was particular concern about West Germany. As it turned out, no such invasion ever happened.

There are several members of the European Union who do not use the Euro. However, all but two of these countries have noted that they will switch to the Euro in some time, as this is the law of the European Union. The two countries to not do so are the United Kingdom and Denmark. Both have opt-outs on the situation and are not obliged to adopt the Euro. However, this doesn't mean they won't do so in the future, as it is possible.

The dominant climate of the British Isles is classified as a temperate maritime climate. This means that the region experiences mild temperatures, high levels of humidity, and frequent rainfall throughout the year due to its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The climate is generally characterized by changeable weather conditions.

North America, extending to within 10 degree of both the Equator and the North Pole, embraces every climatic zone, from Tropical rainforest to Savanna on the lowlands of central America to areas of permanent ice cap in central Greenland. Subarctic and Tundra climates prevail in North Canada and North Alaska, and desert and semiarid conditions are found in interior regions cut off by high mountains from rain bearing westerly winds. However, a high proportion of the continent has the temperate climates very favourable to settlement and agriculture.

All of China switched to UTC+8 in 1980. UTC+8 is the local mean time at 120 degrees east longitude. Unofficially, the two westernmost Chinese provinces, Tibet and Xinjiang, use UTC+6, which is the local mean time at 90 degrees east longitude.

Wind and flooding from storms is the greatest threat to Atlantic coastal countries in Europe. The storms that form in the North Sea are a combination of Atlantic moisture and Arctic winds. Both storm tides and heavy rains have caused serious flooding in the past.

The largest Rocket ever built is called the Saturn V rocket and was used to send man to the moon from 1969 to 1972. Built by German engineer Whener Von Braun, the rocket measures 110,6 meters tall. Incomparison to the space shuttle, the shuttle with its external tank and solid rocket boosters attached measure only 56 meters tall. However NASA does have plans to create a new rocket, the Ares V which may be a couple of meters taller then the Saturn V rocket. The rocket is still in the conceptual stage, but may be used as a heavy weight launch vehicle in the near future.

Tricky question. I assume you refer to the national conflicts in 1850's - 1860's on the Jutland Peninsula respectively the Balkan conflict of 1990's. If one compare Denmark to Serbia, and Holstein to break-away Yugoslav republics like Slovenia and Croatia, then I think the major difference is that the 100% German Holstein didn't just want to leave the Danish Kingdom (as the smaller republics wanted to leave Serbia), but to pull the ethnically mixed Schleswig along with it, which was unacceptable to the Danish government. The similarity is that Denmark was pointing to a 1.000 years old ownership of Schleswig (originally agreed with the German Emperor in 812 AD), just as Serbia pointed to a historical right to Kosovo going back to at least the 14th century.

According to the USA Central Intelligence Agency, Greenland is geographically part of North America.
