Spanish authorities are putting the death toll at 30 but it looks far more from the images.

Putin should be on twitter

All of TF365

Germany the exception in Europe being a federation. China for obvious reasons a big country being unitary. Some other huge countries like Saudis, Iran, Kazakhstan being unitary despite their size but they're population wise small so I bet it works well for them.

And a special shout out to the child miners in Congo
