Can Europeans Answer Simple Geography Questions? #2

I attended the EGM (Erasmus Generation Meeting), organised by ‪@ESNInternational‬, where 900+ people from all over Europe gathered to shape the future of Europe. Since this is one of the biggest international events of ESN (Erasmus Student Network), I decided to test the participants' knowledge on Geography. Here's what happened.

Considering that English is not the native language for most of them and also not the language they use when learning Geography (or thinking about places), some questions are not good choices, imo. For example, the question with countries that end in L. For me, a Romanian, Brasil is Brazilia and it ends in A. Maybe I think about it ending in L, maybe I don’t. Ask me anything else about it - flag, currency, capital, rivers a.s.o. - if you want to test my knowledge, but not something that requires to think in English.

The UN does not recognize countries. Other countries do. The UN however has members, Israel being one of them. Palestine on the other hand has the same status as Vatican City as an observer.

[@Bobonov]

This is not correct. UN is an organization which inside it recognize countries, yes it has no value at global level, but it still does it for its internal matters. Recognized countries by UN do not imply that its members recognize them and vice versa. At global level there are countries which are recognized by all the other and some who are recognized by only some. An evident case is Palestine and Israel whose are recognized as country by only some of the UN member. UN recognized Israel, but it is not recognized by all UN members UN gave to Palestine status of external observer, but not all UN member recognize it. Another highlight case is Kosovo which is a very complicate case.

[@georghauer7811]

The UN recognizes member states. That's typically what means "UN-recognized". But then mentioning Israel wasn't correct as it is a UN member state.

[@privatevendetta]

@@Bobonov @Georg Hauer That is wrong. I quote from the UN website (About UN Membership): "How does a new State or Government obtain recognition by the United Nations? The recognition of a new State or Government is an act that only other States and Governments may grant or withhold. It generally implies readiness to assume diplomatic relations. The United Nations is neither a State nor a Government, and therefore does not possess any authority to recognize either a State or a Government. As an organization of independent States, it may admit a new State to its membership or accept the credentials of the representatives of a new Government."

[@Bobonov]

@@privatevendetta you probably misunderstood when I wrote "UN is an organization which **inside it** recognize countries, yes it has no value at global level". Being recognized as a country by UN has value only inside UN. Cuba is in UN, Israel is in UN, Cuba does not recognize Israel as Country By simplify application to UN. You became a UN member by applying and then your application goes in plenary vote by UN member. Of course, to obtain the necessary vote you should already have diplomatic relation with the majority of the UN member, otherwise you'll never get the necessary votes. Once you get the necessary votes, you are a became a member of UN, even if not all members recognize you as a state. Once member of UN this means that UN recognize you as a State, it is very clear on the website where there is Member States list. According to Britannica Encyclopedia, state: sovereign political entity So UN members state (for UN inside UN) are sovereign political entity Of course, globally speaking, this is not that easy. Let's speak about Kosovo. Many countries recognize Kosovo as a country, all those countries are in UN, but UN does not recognize Kosovo as a country. Is it a country? Well if you are a USA, French, UK, German, Italian citizen and many others, it is a country If you are from Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Spain, Greece, Romania and some other, it is not a country. So is Kosovo a country? The right answer is: UN and other countries "opinion" does not matter, it depends on from where you come from (your citizenship and what your country thinks of it)

[@maximushaughton2404]

Just because they are well-educated, all university students in an affluent part of the world, does not mean they are good at geography, unless it's their area of study. Near enough every other program you could study at university, does not require you to know geography. You could even go as far as saying, that even in geography you are not required to know the answers to the questions he was asking.

You mentioned Israel is not recognised by UN?? Is that true? i do not think so. It is recognised by UN from 1949. Please correct me if i am wrong.

[@user-lt7bd8on9c]

You're right. Of course Israel is recognized by UN

[@EL-oj6uq]

Yes Israel is a member state it's a mistake

Only because I lived in Spain for a year, did I learn about the Erasmus Program. I'm a dumb American. Could someone give some detail about this really cool program?🙂

[@zipkivol]

In abstract, It's an european program (not only in european union) . It permits europeans students to have their degrees in an other european country than their origin. For exemple a french student Can have their ingenior degree in Germany with financial helps from Erasmus. It helps also to find an hebergement and help with administration. I'M sure you Can find more informations in official website. Also, sorry about my approximative english. I'M french.
