News website in Gothic, it's here

[Dicentis a roellingua@gmail.com [gothic-l]]

Bandareikja means the US in Gothic, it's the neologism used at Wikipedia
and I adapted it.

Kina is the neologism for China, but it's too German for me. Though,
wikipedia uses it so I guess I will need to use it to keep some consistency
in Gothic, where neologisms exist I don't want to add new ones as I want
some standard in the language.

I will add these countries in the future to the articles vocabulary.
