Majority of the IMF funding comes
from the member countries through their payment of quotas. These quotas are
assigned to each member of the IMF based on its size in the world economy. IMF

They provide a temporary supplement to quota resources.

In the Northern Hemisphere, for example, predictable winds called trade winds blow from east to west just above the equator. The winds pull surface water with them, creating currents. As these currents flow westward, the Coriolis effect—a force that results from the rotation of the Earth—deflects them. The currents then bend to the right, heading north. At about 30 degrees north latitude, a different set of winds, the westerlies, push the currents back to the east, producing a closed clockwise loop.
Hope that helped :D
A state is in a country, a country is in a continent. The main difference is size. a state can be really populated, but a country is more populated. a continent is even more populated then that. Hope this helps
