The most powerful country in Europe and the most populated one. The Germans have always been a great power, and their story started more than 2000 years ago. The name itself comes from the Latin Germania. However, it is important to notice that the German term, Deutschland, literally means the German lands and comes from the original “diutisciu land”. More about Germany The Republic of South Africa, also known as RSA, is the southernmost country in the continent. It is one of the most important nations in Africa and in the entire world, being the 24th-most populous nation. Due to its large size, it does not have high density numbers. Interestingly, RSA has three different capital cities. The executive one is Pretoria, the judicial is Bloemfontein, and the legislative is Cape Town. Interestingly, these are not the largest - Johannesburg is the one with the largest population. More about South Africa
