It means "Here's our world". The second means "Hungary, the land of the Magyars." The number of Esperanto speakers is a much debated topic in Esperantoland. The estimates range from a few hundred thousand by people against the language to several million by people who favor the language. Many (most?, almost all?) natural languages have far fewer than two million speakers.
