Geography of Azerbaijan: Azerbaijan is situated in the Caucasus region of Eurasia.  Three physical features dominate Azerbaijan: the Caspian Sea, whose shoreline forms a natural boundary to the east; the Greater Caucasus mountain range to the north; and the extensive flatlands at the country's center.  About the size of Portugal or the state of Maine, Azerbaijan has a total land area of approximately 86,600 square kilometers, less than 1% of the land area of the former Soviet Union.  Of the three Transcaucasian states, Azerbaijan has the greatest land area.  Special administrative subdivisions are the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, which is separated from the rest of Azerbaijan by a strip of Armenian territory, and the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region, entirely within Azerbaijan.  (The status of Nagorno-Karabakh was under negotiation in 1994.)  Located in the region of the southern Caucasus Mountains, Azerbaijan borders the Caspian Sea to the east, Georgia and Russia to the north, Iran to the south, and Armenia to the southwest and west.  A small part of Nakhchivan also borders Turkey to the northwest.  The capital of Azerbaijan is the ancient city of Baku, which has the largest and best harbor on the Caspian Sea and has long been the center of the republic's oil industry.

Protected areas of Himachal Pradesh: Forests in Himachal Pradesh currently cover an area of nearly 37,691 sqkm , which is about 38.3% of the total land area of the state.  The forests were once considered to be the main source of income of the state and most of the original forests were clear felled.  The emphasis has shifted, however, from exploitation to conservation.  The state government aims to increase forest cover to 50% of the total land area.  There have been various projects, including the establishment of protected areas such as National Parks, designed to preserve and expand the forests.

Falie: Falie is a 46 m ketch that traded for many years in Australian waters.  Originally built in 1919 as the motor schooner collier Hollands Trouw, she was purchased by the Spencer's Gulf Transport Company, renamed, and used for coastal trading in South Australia.  The vessel was commissioned into the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) as HMAS "Falie" during World War II, serving first as an inspection vessel primarily patrolling the Port of Sydney, Australia, then as a stores ship.

Krepost Sveaborg: The Krepost Sveaborg was an Imperial Russian system of land and coastal fortifications constructed around Helsinki during the First World War.  The purpose of the fortress was to provide a secure naval base for the Russian Baltic fleet and to protect Helsinki and block routes to Saint Petersburg from a possible German invasion.  Krepost Sveaborg was part of Peter the Great's Naval Fortress, a coastal fortification system protecting access to Saint Petersburg by sea.  The central part of Krepost Sveaborg was the old fortress of Suomenlinna where the fortress headquarters were located.  Due to technological advances in artillery the old fortress was no longer capable of providing a sufficient protection, and a new main defensive line was built well beyond the old fortress boundaries.  New coastal artillery guns built on outlying islands protected Krepost Sveaborg from the sea, while fortified lines constructed around Helsinki were intended to stop any attacks on land.  The primary coastal guns were 10 in model 1891 guns and 6 in model 1892 Canet guns. Older 11 in model 1877 guns were also used.  In summer 1917 the fortress had two hundred coastal or anti-landing guns, of which 24 were 10-inch guns in six batteries, 16 were 6-inch Canet guns in four batteries and twelve were 11-inch guns in three batteries.  The artillery used in land fortifications included older coastal guns, old fixed carriage guns and newer light field guns.  In March 1917, Krepost Sveaborg had a total of 463 guns, although many of them were obsolescent.  Krepost Sveaborg was still partly incomplete in 1917 when the February Revolution halted most of the construction work.  Some further construction work was carried out during the remaining year, but all work halted during the October Revolution.  Following the Finnish Declaration of Independence, parts of the land fortifications were used in the Finnish Civil War.  The coastal fortifications were later taken over by Finland to protect Helsinki, while the land fortifications were mostly abandoned and disarmed.
