Libéria

Libéria, officially the Republic of Libéria, is a country on the West African coast. It is bordered by Sierra Leone to its northwest, Guinea to its north, Côte d'Ivoire to its east, and the Atlantic Ocean to its south and southwest. Libéria is the first African republic to claim independence, founded by freed American slaves. The capital and largest city is Monrovia.

The climate of Libéria is tropical, characterized by hot and humid conditions throughout the year. The country has a diverse geography, with a narrow coastal plain, rolling hills, and a forested interior. Its economy is heavily reliant on foreign assistance and remittances. Key sectors include agriculture, particularly rice and rubber, and mining, with iron ore being a significant export.

Liberia's history is marked by its unique origins. Established in 1847, it was settled by freed slaves from the United States who sought to create their own nation. This history has shaped its culture and identity. The country has experienced periods of political instability and civil war, most notably in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, which significantly impacted its development. Despite these challenges, Libéria has made efforts towards recovery and reconstruction. The official language is English, although numerous indigenous languages are also spoken.
