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 The United Arab Emirates (most often abbreviated to UAE or informally called Emirates) is the nation located in Western Asia, or to be more precise at the eastern end of the Arabian Peninsula. As a result of that, there are rather few neighbors like, for example, Oman or Saudi Arabia. However, we should also remember about its maritime borders that are possible due to the Persian Gulf. There, they share borders with Qatar and Iran. More about United Arab Emirates
