  1. Hello, Mr Bird.
  2. My name is No Lane.
  3. I'll be doing the country compares and project on Russian
  4. South Korea.
  5. So the first thing we talk about is on geography.
  6. So Russia is the largest country in the world, is
  7. over 171 times bigger than South Korea.
  8. So much, much bigger on being that Russia's so big
  9. it's obviously gonna have different landscapes.
  10. The two landscapes that do dominate are the step is
  11. which are just a coastal unethical.
  12. So just the planes that run through Russia so very
  13. flat plains and the tigers, which are big, like pine
  14. force. And yet these these air to dominate and major
  15. landforms Russia include the caucus mountains, the Altai Mountains and
  16. then the Siberian plain, but and then go into South
  17. Korea is very small, As I said, compared to Russia,
  18. those big is about the state of Pennsylvania, and the
  19. country is very mountainous.
  20. It's, um, has small.
  21. Our has a lot of valleys and very important, um,
  22. very important coastal plains be doing our due to the
  23. fact that South Korea relies heavy heavily on fishing for
  24. both their culture and feeding the coastal plains are very
  25. important. South Korea is also, or the whole country of
  26. Korea is actually a peninsula.
  27. It is surrounded by the Yellow Sea in the west,
  28. the sea of Japan in the east and the Korea
  29. straight in the south.
  30. Okay, so population.
  31. The population in Russia is 145 1,000,019.
  32. 35 934,004 under 60 people, which accounts for about 1.87%
  33. of the world's total population.
  34. And South Korea is has much lower population at 51,269,185
  35. people, which counts for 0.66% of the world's population.
  36. So much, much lower population, Um, and then as ethnic
  37. breakdown. So, um, ethnic Russians in Russia account for about
  38. 81% of the entire population, and they're very into the
  39. Russian Orthodox Church.
  40. The second largest ethnic group is, um the Tartars was
  41. about 3.9% of the population, and these the starters are
  42. found all throughout Central Asia and Eastern Europe and then
  43. go into South Korea.
  44. South Korea is one the most off homogeneous societies countries
  45. in the world with over 97% being ethnic Korea.
  46. And then, um in 1990 to China, South Korea made
  47. a trade where, well, where Chinese merchants could go and
  48. start business in South Korea.
  49. So there's you can see some Chinese.
  50. About 2% of the population is Chinese in suffering.
  51. So the world break has Russia Ah, pee pee pee
  52. of $4.16 trillion South Korea at a $2.35 trillion.
  53. So, as we see, Russia has much a much better
  54. economy. Um, going a literacy rate.
  55. Russia has one the highest or have the highest literacy
  56. rate in the world, and 99.68% meaning that almost everyone
  57. in the country can read.
  58. And South Korea has a very high one, too, just
  59. not as high.
  60. Um, 98.97% of the population, uh, and going a life
  61. expectancy. South Korea has a life expectancy of 82 years
  62. in Russia at 72 years, so South Korea has a
  63. much higher life expectancy being that about females in South
  64. Korea lived to be very old and then government structure.
  65. In South Korea, they have a presidential public like the
  66. U. S.
  67. The president is Moon Jae in.
  68. And they have a prime minister named Lee Nak Young.
  69. Obviously us not Prime Minister, but the prime minister in
  70. South Korea, just an executive assistant to the president.
  71. They have three branches of government just like us executive,
  72. judicial and legislative ongoing Russia.
  73. They have a federation which is basically just a country
  74. formed by separate states that are that have given central
  75. power or given certain powers to the central government, never
  76. president. And they're proven.
  77. And, um, they also have a head of government, which
  78. is Premier Macau.
  79. Miss Houston.
  80. And this this, uh, premier is a lot of orders
  81. more than the president.
  82. But I'm gonna go on a socio economic classes.
  83. Wealth is not spread evenly at all in Russia, there
  84. is basically just a a poor plus and a rich
  85. class. And I found that over 3 83% of Russian
  86. population have a wealth of less than $10,000 so far
  87. on go in South Korea.
  88. On there, a capitalist class which basically owns the large
  89. corporations, are corporations in South Korea are electronics and cars.
  90. They have a middle class, which is most of the
  91. majority of the population, at 65.4%.
  92. And these people are the most likely to advance onto
  93. school beyond high school, and then they have a working
  94. class. They make the lowest amount of money with so
  95. can supply for their family through their jobs.
  96. Next is the freedom score rank.
  97. Russia has a freedom, total score and status of 20
  98. and South Korea has a total score and status of
  99. 83. So that just shows a lot right there shows
  100. that South Korea has much more freedom a lot more
  101. than Russia.
  102. Who might they like?
  103. Teoh. Watch over their citizens.
  104. Okay, so healthcare in Russia it is the right is
  105. free. Um, it is.
  106. It's free.
  107. But to get right treatment.
  108. Lots of lots of patients spend more money than they
  109. should because of this free.
  110. But it has been free since 1996 and provided through
  111. the state.
  112. Um, in federal compulsory medical insurance months on, go to
  113. South Korea else have free healthcare, and this covers about
  114. 97% of the population.
  115. Um, so but most of the health care is probably
  116. okay, so on to national security and foreign policy.
  117. South Korea maintains diplomatic relations with about 191 countries, and
  118. it has been a member of the United Nations since
  119. 1991. There they're involved with a lot of other countries
  120. where as Russia, not as much they have sometimes with
  121. China. But they have a lot of a lot of
  122. enemies per se.
  123. They're always gonna get closer to the U.
  124. S. But it's kind of it's not as not like
  125. South Korea, um, and then environmental policies.
  126. Russia has the WWF, Russia and Greenpeace Russia.
  127. They try to focus on small regional issues, but there
  128. they don't really have a lot of environmental policies.
  129. Whereas South Korea has the they have the Health Act,
  130. the Toxic Chemical Control Act of Sustainable Development Act and
  131. so many more.
  132. They look a lot on nature of preservation and green
  133. go reading growth.
  134. So that's, um, that's very, very different to the two
  135. countries and a drug policies.
  136. Actually, uh, cannabis became legal in South Korea into 2018
  137. but in Russia, they look at drugs.
  138. Uh, they look drugs is very bad.
  139. They so possession of over six grams in Russia's A
  140. criminal is a criminal offence, and it has not been
  141. legalize yet.
  142. Going education.
  143. Russia has one of the best education systems in the
  144. world, obviously said has literacy rate of almost 100%.
  145. Education is is a standard for Children 6 to 15
  146. and they have universities such a Saint Petersburg University in
  147. Moscow and a lot of universities in Moscow, Um, going
  148. to South Korea, their educations value into three parts, six
  149. years of primary school, three years of middle school and
  150. three years of high school.
  151. It is not a strict in South Korea, but it
  152. is very important as well.
  153. They have a lot of university as well.
  154. Um, thank you for your time.
  155. I really appreciate it.
