A '''National Olympic Committee''' ('''NOC''') is a national constituent of the worldwide Olympic movement. Subject to the controls of the [[International Olympic Committee]], NOCs are responsible for organizing their people's participation in the [[Olympic Games]]. They may nominate cities within their respective areas as candidates for future Olympic Games. NOCs also promote the development of athletes and the training of coaches and officials at a national level within their geographies.

== National Olympic Committees ==
As of 2023, there are 206 National Olympic Committees.<ref>{{Cite web |title=National Olympic Committees |url=https://olympics.com/ioc/national-olympic-committees |website=International Olympic Committee}}</ref> These include each of the 193 [[member states of the United Nations]], one [[United Nations General Assembly observers#Non-member observers|UN observer state]] ([[Palestine Olympic Committee|Palestine]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=Palestine |url=https://olympics.com/ioc/palestine |website=International Olympic Committee}}</ref>) and three [[list of states with limited recognition|states without UN recognition]] (the [[Cook Islands Sports and National Olympic Committee|Cook Islands]],<ref>{{Cite web |title=Cook Islands |url=https://olympics.com/ioc/cook-islands |website=International Olympic Committee}}</ref> [[Olympic Committee of Kosovo|Kosovo]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kosovo |url=https://olympics.com/ioc/kosovo |website=International Olympic Committee}}</ref> and [[Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee|Taiwan]]{{NoteTag|Designated as ''[[Chinese Taipei]]'' by the IOC.}}<ref>{{Cite web |title=Chinese Taipei |url=https://olympics.com/ioc/chinese-taipei |website=International Olympic Committee}}</ref>).

There are also nine [[dependent territory|dependent territories]] with recognized NOCs: four [[territories of the United States]] ([[American Samoa National Olympic Committee|American Samoa]],<ref>{{Cite web |title=American Samoa |url=https://olympics.com/ioc/american-samoa |website=International Olympic Committee}}</ref> [[Guam National Olympic Committee|Guam]],<ref>{{Cite web |title=Guam |url=https://olympics.com/ioc/guam}}</ref> [[Comité Olímpico de Puerto Rico|Puerto Rico]],<ref>{{Cite web |title=Puerto Rico |url=https://olympics.com/ioc/puerto-rico |website=International Olympic Committee}}</ref> and the [[Virgin Islands Olympic Committee|United States Virgin Islands]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=Virgin Islands, US |url=https://olympics.com/ioc/virgin-islands-us |website=International Olympic Committee}}</ref>), three [[British Overseas Territories]] ([[Bermuda Olympic Association|Bermuda]],<ref>{{Cite web |title=Bermuda |url=https://olympics.com/ioc/bermuda |website=International Olympic Committee}}</ref> the [[British Virgin Islands Olympic Committee|British Virgin Islands]],<ref>{{Cite web |title=Virgin Islands, British |url=https://olympics.com/ioc/virgin-islands-british |website=International Olympic Committee}}</ref> and the [[Cayman Islands Olympic Committee|Cayman Islands]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=Cayman Islands |url=https://olympics.com/ioc/cayman-islands |website=International Olympic Committee}}</ref>), one [[Kingdom of the Netherlands#Constituent countries|constituent country]] of the [[Kingdom of the Netherlands]] ([[Aruban Olympic Committee|Aruba]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=Aruba |url=https://olympics.com/ioc/aruba |website=International Olympic Committee}}</ref>) and one [[special administrative regions of China|special administrative region]] of [[China]] ([[Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China|Hong Kong]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=Hong Kong, China |url=https://olympics.com/ioc/hong-kong-china |website=International Olympic Committee}}</ref>).

Prior to 1996, rules for recognising dependent territories or constituent countries as separate countries within the IOC were not as strict as those within the [[United Nations]], which allowed these territories to field teams separately from their sovereign state. Following an amendment to the Olympic Charter in 1996, NOC recognition can only be granted after recognition as an independent country by the international community.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|url=https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201012/cmselect/cmfaff/writev/overseas/ot22.htm |title=Overseas Territories (3rd February 2012) |publisher=Publications.parliament.uk |access-date=2014-01-23}}</ref> Since [[Grandfather clause|the rule does not apply retroactively]], the dependent territories and constituent countries which were recognised before the rule change are allowed to continue sending separate teams to the Olympics,<ref name=":0" /> while the [[Faroe Islands]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=Faroe Islands |url=https://www.paralympic.org/faroe-islands |access-date=2023-02-12 |website=International Paralympic Committee |language=en}}</ref> and [[Macau]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=Macao, China |url=https://www.paralympic.org/macao-china |access-date=2023-02-12 |website=International Paralympic Committee |language=en}}</ref> send their own [[Paralympic Games|Paralympic]] teams.

The only state which thus qualifies to participate in the future is the [[Vatican City]], a UN observer state. [[Niue]], an [[associated state]] of New Zealand, could also be eligible for participation in the future as it conducts its own foreign relations and participates in several UN specialized agencies like other sovereign states. Currently, [[list of states with limited recognition|all other remaining states]] are ineligible to join the IOC as they are not recognised by a majority of the United Nations member countries.<ref name=IOC-09Dec2014a>{{cite web |url=http://www.olympic.org/news/127th-ioc-session-comes-to-close-in-monaco/242155|title=127th IOC Session comes to close in Monaco|publisher=International Olympic Committee|date=9 December 2014|access-date=6 August 2016|quote=The NOC of Kosovo met the requirements for recognition as outlined in the Olympic Charter. These include the sport and technical requirements as well as the definition of "country" as defined in Rule 30.1 – "an independent State recognised by the international community". Kosovo is recognised as a country by 108 of the 193 UN Member States.}}</ref> Constituent countries and dependent territories such as [[Curaçao]], the [[Faroe Islands]], [[Gibraltar]], [[Greenland]], [[Macau]], [[New Caledonia]] and [[Tahiti]] can also no longer be recognised, so athletes from these territories can only participate in the Olympics as part of their parent nation's national team. This rule also applies to territories experiencing a change in status – the [[Netherlands Antilles Olympic Committee]] was dissolved at the 123rd IOC session in July 2011 as the [[dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles|Netherlands Antilles ceased to exist]] in 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.olympic.org/media?articleid=112731&articlenewsgroup=-1|date=13 January 2011|access-date=13 January 2011|title=Executive Board concludes first meeting of the new year|publisher=olympic.org ("Official website of the Olympic movement")}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.olympic.org/mr-jose-perurena?articleid=133159|title=Curtain comes down on 123rd IOC Session|publisher=Olympic.org}}</ref>

For those countries and territories that are part of the [[Commonwealth of Nations]], their National Olympic Committees usually also serve as the members of the [[Commonwealth Games Association]], though not for the constitunent countries of the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), nor for Canada or Australia, who maintain separate organisations for Commonwealth and Olympic sport. For the other Commonwealth members, their NOCs are responsible for organising and overseeing their national teams at the [[Commonwealth Games]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.olympic.org/belize|title=Belize - National Olympic Committee (NOC)|date=27 July 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.anocolympic.org/nocs-directory/seychelles-olympic-and-commonwealth-games-association/16623|title=Seychelles Olympic and Commonwealth Games Association: ANOC}}</ref>

===Listed NOCs===
This section lists the current:

* 206 National Olympic Committees who are recognised by the International Olympic Committee, and so are the members of the [[Association of National Olympic Committees]].{{Citation needed|date= July 2022}}
* 7 National Olympic Committees who are recognised by their continental Olympic associations, but are not recognised by the International Olympic Committee (''Italics'').{{Citation needed|date= July 2022}}

The ANOC members are eligible to enter the [[Olympic Games]]. Some National Olympic Committees who are members of a continental Olympic association but not ANOC members compete in continental-level and subregional-level tournaments. These committees, however, are not allowed to participate in the Olympic Games.

The five continental Olympic associations are:{{Citation needed|date= July 2022}}

* Africa – ''[[Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa]]'' (ANOCA)
* America – ''[[Pan American Sports Organization]]'' (PASO)
* Asia – ''[[Olympic Council of Asia]]'' (OCA)
* Europe – ''[[European Olympic Committees]]'' (EOC)
* Oceania – ''[[Oceania National Olympic Committees]]'' (ONOC)

The IOC runs the [[Summer Olympic Games]] and the [[Winter Olympic Games]] as competitions in which all IOC-recognised NOCs can participate. Each continent also runs its own championships for their members:{{Citation needed|date= July 2022}}

* ANOCA – [[African Games]]
* PASO – [[Pan American Games]] and [[Pan American Winter Games]]
* OCA – [[Asian Games]] and [[Asian Winter Games]]
* EOC – [[European Games]]
* ONOC – [[Pacific Games]]

While not continental unions in themselves, the [[Union of Arab National Olympic Committees]] (UANOC) and [[International Committee of Mediterranean Games]] (CIJM) organise multi-sport events between Arabic-speaking countries and Mediterranean countries respectively.{{Citation needed|date= July 2022}} All 22 National Olympic Committees that form the UANOC and the 26 from CIJM are also members of either the ANOCA, EOC or OCA and are eligible to send their athletes to either the African, European or Asian Games. National Olympic Committees from the UANOC and CIJM are noted in the list below.{{Citation needed|date= July 2022}}

== Career ==
Barn joined YouTube in 2010; having played games with his friends he got into watching YouTubers and making videos of their own. Eventually he decided to launch his own channel, stating:<ref name=":0">{{Cite magazine |last=Reiner |first=Andrew |date=30 April 2015 |title=An Interview With YouTube Sensation Vikkstar123 |url=https://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/04/30/an-interview-with-youtube-sensation-vikkstar123.aspx |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210126040358/https://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/04/30/an-interview-with-youtube-sensation-vikkstar123.aspx |archive-date=26 January 2021 |access-date=20 February 2021 |magazine=[[Game Informer]] |publisher=[[GameStop]]}}</ref>

<blockquote>I got involved thinking I might be able to do a little bit better than they were doing, and get involved and have some fun with it. I started recording myself playing ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2]]''. I started making tutorial videos that people could watch – some of them were for knives and how you could throw them across the map. I made videos showing places where you could throw a knife or tomahawk and get a kill. I thought it would be cool to show off these ridiculous kills.</blockquote>

As his popularity increased, he began to take it more seriously, branching out into ''[[Minecraft]]''.<ref name=":0" />

In 2013, he joined the Sidemen, which caused his popularity to rise further.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Fogarty |first=Paul |date=17 September 2019 |title=YouTube: Get to know all seven Sidemen members – Ethan, Tobi, Harry! |url=https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2019/09/17/youtube-sidemen-members-ethan-tobi-harry-ksi-miniminter-vik/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210209071019/https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2019/09/17/youtube-sidemen-members-ethan-tobi-harry-ksi-miniminter-vik/ |archive-date=9 February 2021 |access-date=20 February 2021 |website=HITC}}</ref> He would later move in with three other members, sharing a house with them from 2014 to 2018, when he announced he was moving out of the Sidemen House.<ref name="TheTimes">{{Cite news |date=23 October 2021 |title=Who are the Sidemen?

{{Politics of Greece}}
The '''Greek Senate''' ({{lang-el|Ελληνική Γερουσία|Ellinikí [[Gerousia|Gerousía]]}}) was the upper chamber of the [[parliament]] in [[Greece]], extant several times in the country's history.

==Local senates during the War of Independence==
During the early stages of the [[Greek War of Independence]], prior to the establishment of a centralized administration, a number of [[Greek local statutes|regional councils]] were established, most of which were termed "senate", but which were unicameral bodies: the [[Senate of Western Continental Greece]], the [[Areopagus of Eastern Continental Greece]] (sometimes referred to as "senate"), and the [[Peloponnesian Senate]].

==1829–1833==
{{main|Greek Senate (1829)}}
A unicameral body with purely advisory functions, the Senate was established in 1829 by the [[Fourth National Assembly at Argos]] in replacement of the ''[[Panellinion]]'', established the previous year. It had 27 members, 21 of whom were chosen by the Governor ([[Ioannis Kapodistrias]]) from 63 candidates nominated by the Assembly, and further six who were appointed directly by the Governor. [[Georgios Sisinis]] was elected as its president. After Kapodistrias' murder in 1831, the Senate appointed a series of governing councils to lead the state. In 1832, the [[Fifth National Assembly at Nafplion]] abolished the Senate, but the Senate refused to recognize the act, and survived until the arrival of King [[Otto of Greece|Otto]] in February 1833.

==1844–1864==
The Senate as an upper chamber was established by the [[Greek Constitution of 1844]]. The Senate had 27 members, appointed for life by the King, who in addition could appoint further members up to one half of the statutory number. The Senate, seen as a reactionary body and essentially dependent upon the King, was abolished by the [[Greek Constitution of 1864]].

==1927–1935==
[[File:Greek Parliament, Chamber of Senate.jpg|thumb|The Chamber of the Senate in the Hellenic Parliament.]]
On 2 January 1924, the Fourth National Assembly convened and decided the abrogation of the dynasty as well as the abolition of the crowned democracy (a decision which was ratified by [[1924 Greek republic referendum|referendum]] on 13 April 1924), establishing the [[Second Hellenic Republic]].

Whilst the Fourth Constitutional Assembly was working towards the completion of the new Constitution, the coup d'état of General [[Theodoros Pangalos (general)|Theodoros Pangalos]] took place. After the fall of his dictatorship in 1926, the "Parliament of the First Term" was elected, which, finally, voted through the [[Greek Constitution of 1927|Constitution of 1927]].

Legislative power was exercised by the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. The Chamber was made up of 200-300 members elected for a four-year term by direct, secret and universal ballot. The Senate was composed of 120 members elected for a nine-year term, but its synthesis was renewed every three years by 1/3. At least 9/12 of the senators were elected by the people, 1/12 by the Chamber and the Senate in a common session at the onset of each parliamentary term, whereas the remaining 2/12 were elected on the basis of a principle of representation of the professions.

In the event of disagreement between the two houses in the voting of a law, the Constitution established the supremacy of the Chamber's vote.

Another significant element was the explicit institution of the parliamentary system. For the first time, the Greek Constitution included a clause stating that the Cabinet must "enjoy the confidence of the Parliament".

The Second Hellenic Republic lasted until 1935. That year, as a result of a [[1935 Greek coup d'état attempt|failed coup]] by the supporters of Venizelos, the military was purged, and the royalists, led by [[Georgios Kondylis]], launched a {{Interlanguage link multi|October 1935 Greek coup d'état{{!}}successful coup on 10 October|el|3=Κίνημα Κονδύλη 10ης Οκτωβρίου 1935}}. The Constitution of 1927 was abolished, the [[Greek Constitution of 1911|Constitution of 1911]] was re-instated, and King [[George II of Greece|George II]] came back to the throne by a [[1935 Greek monarchy referendum|referendum]].

== Ionian Senate ==
[[File:Museum of Asian art of Corfu 323.JPG|thumb|left|Meeting room of the [[Ionian Senate]], in the [[Palace of St. Michael and St. George]], [[Corfu (city)|Corfu]].]]
Although not a part of the [[Kingdom of Greece]], there was also an upper house called the '''''[[Ionian Senate]]''''' in the [[Septinsular Republic]] (1800-1815) and [[United States of the Ionian Islands]] (1815-1864), under Russian, French and British Protectorates. During most of its history it was housed at the [[Palace of St. Michael and St. George]] in [[Corfu (city)|Corfu]], where its meeting room can still be seen with the original furniture. The six chairs are for its six members:
* the President of the Senate
* one delegate for each of the major four islands ([[Corfu]], [[Lefkada]], [[Kefalonia]] and [[Zakynthos]])
* one delegate rotating between the minor three ([[Paxi]], [[Ithaca (island)|Ithaca]] and [[Kythira]])
