In 2007, Jehovahs Witnesses reported that there are 236 countries, territories, and colonies that they are active in. This is in excess to the number of countries recognized by the UN, which at present is 195 countries. Jehovahs Witnesses list 206 countries by name that they are active in, and 30 other countries are catagorized as a group. There are many countries that we are banned in, that is, it is illegal to be a JW or carry on the activities of JWs. We as Jehovahs Witnesses have come to understand every year that the other countries that are listed on our annual report are countries that we are banned in. Since Algeria , with its capitol city, Algiers, is not listed by name among the the 206 countries in the 2007 report, the assumption would be that Algeria is a country that our activity is banned in. It is possible and highly likely that there are Jehovahs Witnesses in the country of Algeria and the city of Algeirs, however, their activities are not made public.

• Maldives is located in Asia.

• Located in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives is considered part of South Asia. Known as the Republic of Maldives, the country is directly south of India and southwest of Sri Lanka. The Maldives is an archipelago that rests between the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. Comprised of an estimated 1,200 islands, the Maldives is not completely occupied. Some areas are uninhabited, due to lack of resources or uncertainty regarding safety.

• The Maldives is part of the northern hemisphere, as well as the eastern hemisphere. The island country lies to the north of the equator. With GPS coordinates of 3.2028° N and 73.2207° E, the Maldives is incredibly near to the equator, which accounts for the climate and weather that people experience on the islands.

• The total area of the Maldives is approximately 115 square miles. As the 187th largest country in the world, it might be more logical to call the Maldives the ninth smallest country of them all, seeing as there are 195 countries in total.

• The population of the Maldives is roughly 447,481 people, according to a census taken in 2018, which is the most recently updated and accurate approximation of the community. Based on population, the Maldives is the 175th most populated country. The fact that various islands are not suitable for residential purposes contributes to the smaller population.

• That said, over 400,000 people occupy the Maldives, and that is an incredible amount, especially given the country’s circumstances regarding living conditions. Taking the total area and the population into consideration, the population density of the Maldives is 3,891 people per square mile. Despite being one of the smallest and least populated countries, the Maldives is the 11th most densely populated places in the world.

• Considering the geography of the Maldives and how many coral reefs define the country’s shores, the average level of elevation is barely 4 feet above sea level. The topic of climate change is very prevalent when discussing the Maldives. The low elevation levels pose a serious risk to the country, and it will become irreparable when the prediction of rising ocean levels becomes a reality. Even the highest point of the Maldives is not tall. At the height of 8 feet above sea level, Vilingili Island is the location of the Maldives’ highest altitude.

Germany

• Germany, officially Federal Republic of Germany, German Deutschland or Bundesrepublik Deutschland, country of north-central Europe, traversing the continent’s main physical divisions, from the outer ranges of the Alps northward across the varied landscape of the Central German Uplands and then across the North German Plain.

Germany has so much to offer, here are some of the things Germany is known for.

Berlin

Berlin's: alternative edge, exciting food scene, palpable history and urban glamour never fail to enthral and enchant. More than a quarter century after the Wall’s collapse, the German capital has grown up without relinquishing its indie spirit and penchant for creative improvisation. There’s haute cuisine in a former brewery, all-night parties in power stations and world-class art in a WWII bunker. Visit major historical sights – including the Reichstag, Brandenburger Tor and Checkpoint Charlie – then feast on a smorgasbord of culture in myriad museums.

Munich

If you are looking for Alpine clichés, Munich: will hand them to you in one chic and compact package. But the Bavarian capital also has plenty of unexpected trump cards under its often bright-blue skies. Here, folklore and age-old traditions exist side by side with sleek BMWs, designer boutiques and high-powered industry. The city's museums showcase everything from artistic masterpieces to technological treasures and Oktoberfest history, while its music and cultural scenes are second only to those found in Berlin.

Schloss Neuschwanstein

Commissioned by Bavaria’s most celebrated (and loopiest) 19th-century monarch, King Ludwig II, Schloss Neuschwanstein: rises from the mysterious Alpine forests like a bedtime-storybook illustration. Inside, the make-believe continues, with chambers and halls reflecting Ludwig’s obsession with the mythical Teutonic past – and his admiration of composer Wagner – in a confection that puts even the flashiest oligarch’s palazzo in the shade. This sugary folly is said to have inspired Walt’s castle at Disney World; now it inspires tourist masses to make the pilgrimage along the Romantic Road, which culminates at its gates.

The Black Forest

Mist, snow or shine, the deep, dark Black Forest: is just beautiful. If it's back-to-nature moments you're after, this sylvan slice of southwestern Germany is the place to linger. Every valley reveals new surprises: half-timbered villages looking every inch the fairy-tale fantasy, thunderous waterfalls, cuckoo clocks the size of houses. Breathe in the cold, sappy air, drive roller-coaster roads to middle-of-nowhere lakes, have your cake, walk it off on trail after gorgeously wooded trail, then hide away in a heavy-lidded farmhouse. Hear that? Silence. What a wonderful thing.

The Romantic Rhine

As the mighty Rhine flows from Rüdesheim to Koblenz:, the landscape's unique face-off between rock and water creates a magical mix of the wild (churning whirlpools, dramatic cliffs), the agricultural (near-vertical vineyards), the medieval (hilltop castles, half-timbered hamlets), the legendary (Loreley) and the modern (in the 19th-century sense: barges, ferries, passenger steamers and trains). From every riverside village, trails take you through vineyards and forests, up to panoramic viewpoints and massive stone fortresses, and back to a romantic evening spent sampling the local wines.

Heidelberg

The 19th-century romantics found sublime beauty and spiritual inspiration in Germany's oldest university town: and so, in his way, did Mark Twain, who was beguiled by the ruins of the hillside castle. Generations of students have attended lectures, sung lustily with beer steins in hand, carved their names into tavern tables and, occasionally, been sent to the student jail. All of this has left its mark on the modern-day city, where age-old traditions endure alongside world-class research, innovative cultural events and a sometimes raucous nightlife scene.

Dresden

The apocalypse came on a cold February night in 1945 – hours of carpet-bombing reduced Germany's 'Florence on the Elbe': to a smouldering pile of bricks. The dead Dresden's comeback is nothing short of a miracle. Reconstructed architectural jewels pair with stunning art collections that justify the city's place in the pantheon of European cultural capitals. Add to that a contagiously energetic pub quarter, Daniel Libeskind's dramatically redesigned Military History Museum and a tiara of villas and palaces lining up along the river and you've got one enticing package of discovery.

Trier

There was a time when Trier: was the capital of Western Europe. Okay, that time was 2000 years ago, when Emperor Constantine ruled the fading Roman Empire from here. Nowhere else in Germany has the Roman legacy survived as beautifully and tangibly as in this charming town with its ancient amphitheatre, thermal baths and Porta Nigra city gate – Unesco noticed, designating nine World Heritage sites. Today, Germany's oldest city is as unhurried as the Moselle River it sits on, within a grape toss of the country's finest – and steepest – vineyards.

German Food and Drink

If you crave traditional German comfort food, you'll certainly find plenty of places to indulge in a meat-potato-cabbage diet. These days, though, 'typical' German fare: is lighter, healthier, more creative and prepared with seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. The cities especially brim with organic eateries, gourmet kitchens, vegan bistros and a UN's worth of ethnic restaurants. Talented chefs have been racking up the Michelin stars, especially in the Black Forest. And then there's German beer and bread. Is there any other country that does either better?

Nuremberg

Capital of Franconia, an independent region until 1806, Nuremberg: may conjure visions of Nazi rallies and grisly war trials, but there’s so much more to this energetic city. Dürer hailed from the Altstadt, his house now a museum. Germany’s first railway trundled from here to neighbouring Fürth, leaving a trail of choo-choo heritage. And Germany’s toy capital has heaps of things for kids to enjoy. When you’re done with sightseeing, the local beer is as dark as the coffee and best employed to chase down Nuremberg’s delicious finger-sized bratwurst.

Cologne Cathedral

At unexpected moments you see it: Cologne's cathedral:, the city's twin-towered icon, looming over an urban vista and the timeless course of the Rhine. And why shouldn't it? This perfectly formed testament to faith and conviction was started in 1248 and completed six centuries later. You can feel the echoes of the passage of time as you sit in its soaring stained-glass-lit and artwork-filled interior. Climb the 95m-high tower for views of the surrounding city that are like no others.

Saxon Switzerland

Isn’t nature incredible? This is the first thought that springs to mind when you clap eyes on the sandstone wonderland of the Sächsische Schweiz:, just south of Dresden. A bizarre rockscape of pinnacles, buttresses, mesas and spires, this national park – a favourite of 19th-century Romantic artists – is arrestingly beautiful. And its beauty, some say, is best appreciated by hitting one of the many hiking trails leading deep into thick forest or to medieval castle ruins. Free climbers are in their element in these rugged heights.

Oktoberfest

Anyone with a taste for hops-scented froth knows that the daddy of all beer festivals, Oktoberfest:, takes place annually in Munich. The world’s favourite suds-fest actually begins in mid-September and runs for 16 ethanol-fuelled days on the Theresienwiese (Theresa’s Meadow), with troops of crimson-faced oompah bands entertaining revellers; armies of traditionally garbed locals and foreigners guzzling their way through seven million litres of lager; and entire farms of chickens hitting the grill. So find your favourite tent and raise your 1L stein. ‘O'zapft is!’ (The tap is in!).

Potsdam

We can pretty much guarantee that your camera will have a love affair with Potsdam's: marvellous palaces, idyllic parks, stunning views, inspired architecture and tantalising Cold War sites. Just across the Glienicke 'spy bridge' from Berlin, the state capital of Brandenburg was catapulted to prominence by King Frederick the Great. His giddily rococo Sanssouci palace is the glorious crown of this Unesco-recognised cultural tapestry that synthesises 18th-century artistic trends from around Europe in one stupendous masterpiece. A day spent here is sure to charm and enlighten you.

Hamburg

Anyone who thinks Germany doesn't have round-the-clock delights hasn't been to Hamburg:. This ancient, wealthy city on the Elbe traces it roots back to the Hanseatic League and beyond. By day you can tour its magnificent port, explore its history in restored quarters and discover shops selling goods you didn't think were sold. By night, some of Europe's best music clubs pull in the punters, and diversions for virtually every other taste are plentiful as well. And then, another Hamburg day begins.

Bamberg

Often overlooked by travellers but actually one of Germany’s most attractive towns, Bamberg: is a medieval and baroque masterwork chock-full of Unesco-listed townhouses that were mercifully spared the destruction of WWII. Half of the Altstadt’s beauty comes from its location straddling two waterways, the River Regnitz and the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal. Away from the urban eye candy, lower-brow entertainment is provided by Bamberg’s numerous brewpubs, which cook up the town’s unique Rauchbier (smoked beer) – some say it tastes a bit like bacon.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber

With its jumble of neatly restored half-timbered houses enclosed by sturdy ramparts, Rothenburg ob der Tauber: lays on the medieval cuteness with a trowel. (One might even say it's too cute for its own good, if the deluges of day trippers are any indication.) The trick is to experience this historical wonderland at its most magical: early or late in the day, when the last coaches have hit the road and you can soak up the romance all by yourself on gentle strolls along moonlit cobbled lanes.

Frankfurt

Germany's financial capital, Frankfurt: may first appear all buttoned up, but behind the corporate demeanour lurks a city brimming with cultural, culinary and shopping diversions. The best way to discover the city's soul is to head away from the high-rises. It's easy to join Frisbee-tossing locals in the grassy parkland along the Main River, grab an espresso at an old-time cafe, go museum-hopping along the riverbank and sip tart Ebbelwei (apple cider) while tucking into hearty local fare at a wood-panelled tavern.
