Namibia

Namibia is a country in south-western Africa, bordered by Angola and Zambia to the north, Botswana to the east, South Africa to the south and east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The capital and largest city is Windhoek. With a population of about 2.6-million spread across 825 000 km², Namibia is one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. The economy is heavily dependent on mining and mineral exports, particularly diamonds, uranium, gold, copper and zinc. Namibia is one of the world's leading uranium producers, with major operations including the Rössing and Husab mines in the Erongo region and the Langer Heinrich mine. The country also has significant fishing, agriculture and tourism sectors. Namibia uses the Namibian dollar, which is pegged one-to-one with the South African rand, and both currencies circulate as legal tender. The country is a parliamentary republic and a member of the Southern African Development Community, the African Union and the Commonwealth of Nations. Namibia gained independence from South Africa in 1990, having previously been administered as South West Africa under a League of Nations mandate and later a disputed United Nations trusteeship.
