Ndakanga ndiri auntian ndisati ndava mutapi wenhau, saka zvichida kuverenga zvinhu zvinongoerekana zvauya. Apo ini ndakatanga kunzwa pamusoro peVatambi veCentury Club (TCC), pfungwa ye "kuunganidza nyika" yakanga yakanakidza zvokuti ndakabva ndaenda kuTCC Web site kuti ndidzidze zvakawanda.
Chirevo cheTCC chiri nyore - chero munhu akafamba kunyika dzinenge zana (sezvinotsanangurwa neTCC) munyika ino akakodzera kuva nhengo mubhubhu.
TCC haisi kambani itsva. Yakatanga kurongeka muLos Angeles muna 1954 neboka revanhu vaifamba-famba pasi rose. Kubvira panguva iyo pfungwa iyi yakwezva nhengo kubva kuUnited States uye kumativi ose enyika. TCC ikozvino ine nhengo dzinopfuura 1500, ine zvitsauko makumi maviri pasi rose. Kune avo vedu vanoda kuda kufamba, kechikwata ichi chakanaka sezvo isu kazhinji tinoshanyira vazhinji venyika dzakanyorwa. "Kuunganidza nyika" kunotipawo chikonzero chakanaka chekufamba kunyange ZVAKAWANDA!
ITCC inopfuura "kuunganidza nyika." Chirevo chacho ndechokuti "Nyika inofamba ... pasipoti kuenda kune rugare kuburikidza nokunzwisisa." Nhengo dzinobva mumamiriro akasiyana-siyana, asi dzose dzinoda kutambira uye kuongorora uye zvine chekushingaira kweupenyu. Vanonyatsodavira kuti ruzivo rwemamwe marudzi uye nyika dzinosimudzira rugare. Vazhinji vemajeri ava vagari vakuru, uye ndakakurudzirwa kuverenga kuti vamwe vavo vakaita zvakawanda zvekufamba kwavo mushure mokurega basa.
Ndeapi nyika dziripo? Izvo zvinoenderana nenyaya ipi yaunoshandisa. IUnited Nations ine nhengo 193 (November 2016), asi nhamba yenyika dzakasimudzira munyika ine maguta makuru 197. Vafambi veCentral Club "nyika" runyorwa runosanganisira dzimwe nzvimbo dzisingatauri nyika dzakasiyana, asi dzinogona kunge dziri mune zvematongerwo enyika, mune zvematongerwe enyika, kana kuti dzakabviswa kubva kunyika yavo yemubereki.
Semuenzaniso, maHawaii neAlaska vanoverengwa se "nyika" dzakasiyana-siyana nekuda kweTCC. Ikozvino TCC urongwa, iyo yakazogadziriswa munaJanuary 2016, zviyero 325. Apo kirabhu yacho yakatanga, kufungisisa kukuru kwakapiwa sekureba kwekunge munhu aifanira kunge akagara mune imwe nyika kana chikwata kuti zvikwanise. Zvakazopedzisira zvasarudzwa kuti kunyange kushanyira kwenguva pfupi (yakadai sechiteshi chekushevedza pafambisi kana ndege inopisa refu) yaizofanira. Iri mutemo zvirokwazvo rinowedzera mukana wevatendi vengarava kuti vashandise nyika nokukurumidza.
Nhengo muTCC inouya mumatanho akasiyana. Vaya vakafamba kunyika 100-149 vanofanirwa kuve nhengo dzekugara, 150-199 nyika nhengo dzechirivha, 200-249 nhengo dzegoridhe, 250-299 nhengo yeplatinum, uye vanopfuura 300 vari nhengo yedhaimani. Vaya vakashanyira nyika dzose dziri muurongwa vanowana mubairo wakakosha. Ndakashamisika kuona kuti dzimwe nhengo dzeTCC dzave dziri kune "nyika" dzinopfuura 300. Ndinogona kungofungidzira dzimwe nyaya dzinonakidza dzavanofanirwa kutaura! Nhengo dzechikwata dzinoronga huwandu hwemarwendo gore roga roga kune dzimwe nzvimbo dzinoshamisa. Sezvo vazhinji veTCC nyika dziri zviwi, dzimwe dzekufamba idzi dzinoenda.
Handikwanise kumirira kuti ndipinde nenyaya yacho kuti ndione nyika dzakawanda dzandakanga ndashanyira.
Ndaigara ndichirota kushanyira makumi mashanu, uye ndave ndava 49 (ndichiri kutsvaga North Dakota, asi handigoni kuendako kune ngarava). Iye zvino ndinogona kurota kuti ndione sekuwanda kwenyika dziri muTCC urongwa sezvinogona. Apo ndakatanga kuongorora runyorwa, ndakanga ndisingazivi kuti vangangopedzisira ndakaita sei kubva kune dzimwe nzvimbo dzandakavashanyira, seSan Blas Islands kubva kuPanama, ini ndingave ndisina kuverenga kunze kwerwendo pamberi pangu. Dzimwe nyika (kufanana neItari) ndakashanyira kakawanda; vamwe ( saSwaziland ) ndakapedza zvishoma kweawa. Ndakanyatsoyeuka zviyeuchidzo zvakawanda zvinofadza zvekuzorora kwepanguva uye yekutengesa sezvandakatarisa mutsara kubva kumusoro kusvika pasi. Zvaiva zvishoma kudzvinyirira kuona kuti zvishoma zvenyika ndakanga ndazviona, asi zvinondipa chikonzero chakanaka chokufambisa zvimwe!
