International Telecommunications Union (ITU) providing a modern

telecommunications network, primarily by microwave radio relay,

linking Algeria, Djibouti, Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Morocco, Saudi

Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, and Yemen; it was initially

started in Morocco in 1970 by the Arab Telecommunications Union

(ATU) and was known at that time as the Middle East Mediterranean

Telecommunications Network.

Microwave radio relay - transmission of long distance telephone

calls and television programs by highly directional radio microwaves

that are received and sent on from one booster station to another on

an optical path.

NMT - Nordic Mobile Telephone; an analog cellular telephone system

that was developed jointly by the national telecommunications

authorities of the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland,

SAFE - South African Far East Cable

Satellite communication system - a communication system consisting

of two or more earth stations and at least one satellite that

provide long distance transmission of voice, data, and television;

the system usually serves as a trunk connection between telephone

exchanges; if the earth stations are in the same country, it is a

domestic system.

Satellite earth station - a communications facility with a microwave

radio transmitting and receiving antenna and required receiving and

transmitting equipment for communicating with satellites.

Satellite link - a radio connection between a satellite and an earth

station permitting communication between them, either one-way (down

link from satellite to earth station - television receive-only

transmission) or two-way (telephone channels).

SHF - super high frequency; any radio frequency in the 3,000- to

30,000-MHz range.

which the troposphere is used to scatter and reflect a fraction of

the incident radio waves back to earth; powerful, highly directional

antennas are used to transmit and receive the microwave signals;

reliable over-the-horizon communications are realized for distances

up to 600 miles in a single hop; additional hops can extend the

range of this system for very long distances.

Trunk network - a network of switching centers, connected by

multichannel trunk lines.

Country Comparison :: Total fertility rate

This entry gives a figure for the average number of children that

would be born per woman if all women lived to the end of their

childbearing years and bore children according to a given fertility

rate at each age. The total fertility rate (TFR) is a more direct

measure of the level of fertility than the crude birth rate, since

it refers to births per woman. This indicator shows the potential

for population change in the country. A rate of two children per

woman is considered the replacement rate for a population, resulting

in relative stability in terms of total numbers. Rates above two

children indicate populations growing in size and whose median age

is declining. Higher rates may also indicate difficulties for

families, in some situations, to feed and educate their children and

for women to enter the labor force. Rates below two children

indicate populations decreasing in size and growing older. Global

fertility rates are in general decline and this trend is most

pronounced in industrialized countries, especially Western Europe,

where populations are projected to decline dramatically over the

next 50 years.

Country Comparison :: Government type

This entry gives the basic form of government. Definitions of the

major governmental terms are as follows. (Note that for some

countries more than one definition applies.):

Absolute monarchy - a form of government where the monarch rules

unhindered, i.e., without any laws, constitution, or legally

organized opposition.

Anarchy - a condition of lawlessness or political disorder brought

about by the absence of governmental authority.

Authoritarian - a form of government in which state authority is

imposed onto many aspects of citizens' lives.

Commonwealth - a nation, state, or other political entity founded on

law and united by a compact of the people for the common good.

Communist - a system of government in which the state plans and

controls the economy and a single - often authoritarian - party

holds power; state controls are imposed with the elimination of

private ownership of property or capital while claiming to make

progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally

shared by the people (i.e., a classless society).

Confederacy (Confederation) - a union by compact or treaty between

states, provinces, or territories, that creates a central government

with limited powers; the constituent entities retain supreme

authority over all matters except those delegated to the central

government.

Constitutional - a government by or operating under an authoritative

document (constitution) that sets forth the system of fundamental

laws and principles that determines the nature, functions, and

limits of that government.

Constitutional democracy - a form of government in which the

sovereign power of the people is spelled out in a governing

constitution.

Constitutional monarchy - a system of government in which a monarch

is guided by a constitution whereby his/her rights, duties, and

responsibilities are spelled out in written law or by custom.

Democracy - a form of government in which the supreme power is

retained by the people, but which is usually exercised indirectly

through a system of representation and delegated authority

periodically renewed.

Democratic republic - a state in which the supreme power rests in

the body of citizens entitled to vote for officers and

representatives responsible to them.

Dictatorship - a form of government in which a ruler or small clique

wield absolute power (not restricted by a constitution or laws).

Ecclesiastical - a government administrated by a church.

Emirate - similar to a monarchy or sultanate, but a government in

which the supreme power is in the hands of an emir (the ruler of a

Muslim state); the emir may be an absolute overlord or a sovereign

with constitutionally limited authority.

Federal (Federation) - a form of government in which sovereign power

is formally divided - usually by means of a constitution - between a

central authority and a number of constituent regions (states,

colonies, or provinces) so that each region retains some management

of its internal affairs; differs from a confederacy in that the

central government exerts influence directly upon both individuals

as well as upon the regional units.

Federal republic - a state in which the powers of the central

government are restricted and in which the component parts (states,

colonies, or provinces) retain a degree of self-government; ultimate

sovereign power rests with the voters who chose their governmental

representatives.

Islamic republic - a particular form of government adopted by some

Muslim states; although such a state is, in theory, a theocracy, it

remains a republic, but its laws are required to be compatible with

the laws of Islam.

Maoism - the theory and practice of Marxism-Leninism developed in

China by Mao Zedong (Mao Tse-tung), which states that a continuous

revolution is necessary if the leaders of a communist state are to

keep in touch with the people.

Marxism - the political, economic, and social principles espoused by

19th century economist Karl Marx; he viewed the struggle of workers

as a progression of historical forces that would proceed from a

class struggle of the proletariat (workers) exploited by capitalists

(business owners), to a socialist "dictatorship of the proletariat,"

to, finally, a classless society - Communism.

Marxism-Leninism - an expanded form of communism developed by Lenin

from doctrines of Karl Marx; Lenin saw imperialism as the final

stage of capitalism and shifted the focus of workers' struggle from

developed to underdeveloped countries.

Monarchy - a government in which the supreme power is lodged in the

hands of a monarch who reigns over a state or territory, usually for

life and by hereditary right; the monarch may be either a sole

absolute ruler or a sovereign - such as a king, queen, or prince -

with constitutionally limited authority.

Oligarchy - a government in which control is exercised by a small

group of individuals whose authority generally is based on wealth or

power.

Parliamentary democracy - a political system in which the

legislature (parliament) selects the government - a prime minister,

premier, or chancellor along with the cabinet ministers - according

to party strength as expressed in elections; by this system, the

government acquires a dual responsibility: to the people as well as

to the parliament.

Parliamentary government (Cabinet-Parliamentary government) - a

government in which members of an executive branch (the cabinet and

its leader - a prime minister, premier, or chancellor) are nominated

to their positions by a legislature or parliament, and are directly

responsible to it; this type of government can be dissolved at will

by the parliament (legislature) by means of a no confidence vote or

the leader of the cabinet may dissolve the parliament if it can no

longer function.

Parliamentary monarchy - a state headed by a monarch who is not

actively involved in policy formation or implementation (i.e., the

exercise of sovereign powers by a monarch in a ceremonial capacity);

true governmental leadership is carried out by a cabinet and its

head - a prime minister, premier, or chancellor - who are drawn from

a legislature (parliament).

Presidential - a system of government where the executive branch

exists separately from a legislature (to which it is generally not

accountable).

Republic - a representative democracy in which the people's elected

deputies (representatives), not the people themselves, vote on

legislation.

Socialism - a government in which the means of planning, producing,

and distributing goods is controlled by a central government that

theoretically seeks a more just and equitable distribution of

property and labor; in actuality, most socialist governments have

ended up being no more than dictatorships over workers by a ruling

elite.

Sultanate - similar to a monarchy, but a government in which the

supreme power is in the hands of a sultan (the head of a Muslim

state); the sultan may be an absolute ruler or a sovereign with

constitutionally limited authority.

Theocracy - a form of government in which a Deity is recognized as

the supreme civil ruler, but the Deity's laws are interpreted by

ecclesiastical authorities (bishops, mullahs, etc.); a government

subject to religious authority.

Totalitarian - a government that seeks to subordinate the individual

to the state by controlling not only all political and economic

matters, but also the attitudes, values, and beliefs of its

population.
