I’m not sure how to ask this, so I’ll just explain it here. Whenever you open up world news, you see familiar countries, US, China, UK, France, India, Japan, Brazil, Australia, (cant post some countries because it’s political). But you get my gist. I understand some are because of the ongoing situations, but is there any reason why there are like maybe 20 most mentioned names.

Is it the economy? Cuz while some are powerhouse, others not so much like Iraq.

Is it the government? Cuz there are various of kinds of government.

Is it the people? Is it the culture? Like is there particular reason why we keep hearing some names over and over?
