One note I'd like to add about Germany. Germany is liberal in terms of adhering to positions which were defined as left-liberal at some point. However, apart from that it is an extremly confirmistic society where you better not be to vocal when supporting a minority opinion and the justice system is kinda... on paper the prosecutor needs to proof the defendant as guilty, but in practicallity in the court room the defendant needs to proof innocience. If the defendand succeeds in proofing his/her innocience they will offer to drop the case under conditions, like paying the court fees...

As a Texan your mistaken. There isn't a single place in Texas that the majority of people don't speak and know English even in the areas that are 90% Latino. It's just that a ton of people speak Spanish as a first language. You wouldn't describe the border of Texas as Spanish speaking, but bilingual is a far better phrase to use. Only a few of the highlighted counties do the majority of people Speak Spanish better than they speak English, but the majority of those counties the population speaks both. Also sidenote, all of Texas was Latino. The areas with the most Latinos in the state today are Houston, RGV, Dallas, El Paso and San Antonio in no particular order. It's just that the core of Texas eventually had more white settlers move in there than the existing Latino and Native populations. But al of Texas, New Mexico and even a substantial part of Colorado have millions of Hispanic people who descend from the regions history as part of Mexico.

If I had to guess the only country with one language, it would probably be DPRK. Although, if linguists actually had access, they would probably find a continuum similar to that of other less developed nations. Maybe some of the more remote South Pacific island nations could be isolated enough to only have a single language as well. Like maybe Pitcairn Island (if that's the one I'm thinking of. The one with the stranded crew members from the Cook expedition.) Or even some remote islands in the Indian Ocean as well. Those are the only single language nations that I could possibly see.

Wow, Brazil having more than 200 is quite over exaggerated too. I'd say 95% of the population speaks Portuguese.
