Global Guide vs The Pyramids

This is a Japanese language application. See the world. Explore its stories. Hear its anthems. Global Guide brings country facts, flags, emblems, maps and national anthems together with current weather, reference exchange rates and travel advisories in one app for iPhone and iPad. EXPLORE 203 COUNTRIES AND REGIONS Browse a flag gallery or regional lists. The guide includes 193 UN member states, the two UN observer states, and eight additional disputed or limited-recognition regions. Their status is explained separately; inclusion does not imply recognition as a sovereign state. FIND MORE WAYS TO SEARCH Search country names, capitals and over 30,000 cities. Search by language names in English or Japanese, or by currency names and codes. Japanese city-name searches are available where Japanese aliases are included. Bookmarks and recent history make it easy to return to a favorite country. COUNTRY FACTS AT A GLANCE Check population, area, GDP per person, currencies, languages, international calling codes and two- and three-letter ISO codes. Statistics show their reference year. Notes explain regions without their own ISO codes or with shared telephone numbering systems. FLAGS, EMBLEMS AND 195 ANTHEMS Discover national symbols and listen to bundled anthem recordings with play, pause and playback-position controls. Recordings work offline. Flags, emblems and the anthem player share one section, with image credits and licensing information. Updated maps include South Sudan and Sudan following their separation. CURRENT INFORMATION, INSIDE THE APP See local time, UTC offsets, daylight-saving information and notes on countries with multiple time zones. Compare capital and major-city weather in a list or on a map, including temperature, wind, humidity and forecast precipitation. Valid times and forecast issue times are shown. Weather uses MET Norway model estimates and forecasts, not direct observations or rain radar. Check dated reference exchange rates, plus available voltage and power-plug information for travel planning. TRAVEL ADVISORIES FROM JAPAN Read risk levels, headlines and summaries from Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including health, regional and embassy notices. Open original notices in the in-app browser. Advisories may cover only part of a country. No listed warning does not mean a destination is safe. WIKIPEDIA, ONLINE OR OFFLINE One “Open in Wikipedia” button opens the live website when reachable, or automatically falls back to the saved Japanese article when it cannot connect. All 203 entries are bundled; no previous online visit is needed. Offline pages retain article formatting and include collection dates, sources and licensing credits. Some images are not included. The archive does not reproduce every interactive website feature. LANGUAGE AND CONNECTIVITY Weather, exchange rates, travel advisories, online maps and external websites require internet access.
