Bermuda (officially, the Bermuda Islands or the Somers
Isles) is a British overseas territory in the North Atlantic
Ocean
Located off the east coast of the United States, it is situated
around 1,770 kilometres northeast of Miami, Florida, and
1,350 kilometres south of Halifax , Nova Scotia, Canada.
The nearest landmass is Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, about
1,030 kilometres west-northwest. It is the oldest and most
populous remaining British overseas territory, settled by
England a century before the Acts of Union created the United
Kingdom of Great Britain. Bermuda's first capital, St. George's,
was settled in 1612 and is the oldest continuously inhabited
English town in the Americas.
Although commonly referred to in the singular, the
territory consists of approximately 138 islands, with a
total area of 53.3 square kilometres. Compiling a list
of these islands is often complicated, as many have
more than one name (as does the entire archipelago,
which, in addition to its two official names, has
historically been known as "La Garza," "Virgineola,"
and the "Isle of Devils").
"St. George's Parish (each known as St. George's),
whereas Bermuda's capital, the "City of Hamilton",
lies in Pembroke Parish, not in "Hamilton Parish", on
the largest island, "Main Island," which itself is
sometimes called "Bermuda."
Bermuda was discovered in 1503 by a Spanish
explorer, Juan de Bermúdez.
Executive authority in Bermuda is vested in the
monarch and is exercised on her behalf by the
Governor. The governor is appointed by the Queen
on the advice of the British Government. The current
governor is Sir Richard Hugh Turton Gozney ; he
was sworn-in on December 12, 2007. There is also a
Deputy Governor (currently Mark Andrew Capes).
Bermuda has a highly affluent economy, with finance as its
largest sector followed by tourism, giving it the world's highest
GDP(gross domestic product - GDP or gross domestic
income - GDI ) per capita in 2005. It has a subtropical climate,
beaches with pink sand, and is surrounded by cerulean blue
ocean waters.
Bermuda is divided into nine
parishes and two municipalities.
Bermuda's nine parishes:
Devonshire
Hamilton
Paget
Pembroke
St George's
Sandy's
Smith's
Southampton
Warwick
Bermuda's two incorporated
municipalities:
Hamilton (city)
St. George's (town)
Sport is a popular pastime in Bermuda, especially football
(soccer), sailing, cricket, golf, and rugby.
Bermuda's national cricket team participated in the Cricket
World Cup 2007 in the West Indies. Their most famous
player is a 130 kg police officer named Dwayne Leverock

CANADA Geography Canada is the world's second largest country in total area after Russia , since it covers nearly 10 million square kilometres, but is one of the most sparsely populated, with only about 34 million inhabitants. The majority of them live within 300 kilometres of Canada's southern border. Much of the rest of Canada is uninhabited or thinly populated, because the country has a rugged terrain and severe climate. Canada extends across the continent of North America, from Newfoundland on the Atlantic coast to British Columbia on the Pacific coast and northward into the Arctic Ocean. Canada shares land borders with the United States to the south and north-west. Canada is a land of great variety. Towering mountains, crystal-clear lakes, and lush, green forests make Canada's far west a beautiful region. Farther inland, fields of wheat and other grains cover Canada's vast prairies. Thes fertile farmlands contrast vividly with t

Australia

Australia Australia is the only country in the world that covers an entire continent, yet also the smallest and the driest of all the continents. It's almost the same size as continental USA, being the sixth largest country in the world. It's also the oldest ­ some of the rocks are more than 3,000 million years old. Australia is often called `Down Under', because it lies in the Southern Hemisphere. As a result, its seasons are the opposite of ours. Australia, Tasmania and a number of smaller islands form the Commonwealth of Australia. Because of the country's great size, the climate in Australia ranges from tropical regions of the Northern Territory to the cool temperate conditions in the southeast and Tasmania, where it often snows in winter. In the north, half the year is `wet' and half is `dry'. From November to April heavy rain fills the rivers and makes enormous lakes where thousands of birds come for the summer. From May to October it is often sunny and dry for weeks, and it is

Report: Canada

Tallinn English College CANADA Report Karin Kristen Tapupere 8.b Instructor: Tiiu Martma Intro: Canada is a country occupying most of northern North America, extending from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west and northward into the Arctic Ocean. It is the world's second largest country by total area and its common border with the United States to the south and northwest is the longest in the world. The land occupied by Canada was inhabited for millennia by various groups of Aboriginal people. Beginning in the late 15th century, British and French expeditions explored, and later settled along, the Atlantic coast. France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763 after the Seven Years' War. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces. It is a bilingual and multicultural country, with both English and French as

The capital of Canada is Ottawa and other main cities are Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. It is a very developed country. Montreal is the largest city and it is called the Paris of North America because most of the people there speak French. The population of Canada is 28 million people.

The United Kingdom

The United Kingdom The United Kingdom consists of England, Scotland, Wales and North Ireland and it is situated in the Atlantic Ocean near the mainland of Europe. The population of the UK is 58.6 million and area is 244,110 sq km. Britain has a temperate humid climate. Its characteristic features are mild winters, warm summer, no temperature extremes, abundant rain all year round and frequent changes of weather. The mild climate is partly due to the warm Gulf Stream and partly to the south westerly winds. Occasional winds from the east in winter may bring cold and dry weather. The distribution of rainfall is influenced by the Atlantic Stream. The mountainous areas of the north and west have more rain than the lowlands of the south and east. Wales is located on a peninsula in central-west Britain. The entire area of Wales is about 20,779 km². Wales borders by England to the east and by sea in the other three directions: the
