-“Botswana” (/bɒtˈswɑːnə/),
officially the Republic of Botswana (Tswana: Lefatshe la Botswana), is a landlocked country located in ‘Southern Africa’-
.
(the citizens refer to themselves as Batswana (singular: Motswana))
(formerly the British protectorate of ‘Bechuanaland’, ‘Botswana’ adopted its new name after becoming independent within the ‘Commonwealth’ on 30 September 1966)
(since then, it has maintained a strong tradition of stable representative democracy, with a consistent record of uninterrupted democratic elections)
(‘Botswana’ is topographically flat, with up to 70% of its territory being the ‘Kalahari Desert’)
(it is bordered by ‘South Africa’ to the south and southeast, ‘Namibia’ to the west and north, and ‘Zimbabwe’ to the northeast)
(its border with ‘Zambia’ to the north near ‘Kazungula’ is poorly defined but at most is a few hundred metres long)
(a mid-sized country of just over 2 million people, ‘Botswana’ is one of the most sparsely populated nations in the world)
(around 10% of the population lives in the capital and largest city, ‘Gaborone’)
(formerly one of the poorest countries in the world—with a GDP per capita of about US$70 per year in the late 1960s—’Botswana’ has since transformed itself into one of the fastest-growing economies in the world)
(the economy is dominated by ‘mining’, ‘cattle’, and ‘tourism’)
(‘Botswana’ boasts a GDP (purchasing power parity) per capita of about $18,825 per year as of 2015, which is one of the highest in ‘Africa’)
(its high ‘gross national income’ (by some estimates the 4th-largest in Africa) gives the country a modest standard of living and the highest ‘Human Development Index’ of ‘continental Sub-Saharan Africa’)
(‘Botswana’ is a member of the ‘African Union’, the ‘Southern African Development Community’, the ‘Commonwealth of Nations’, and the ‘United Nations’)
(the country has been among the hardest hit by the ‘HIV/AIDS’ epidemic)
(the death rate due to AIDS or AIDS-related causes has fallen sharply (57%) from 2005 to 2013, and the number of new infections in children has also fallen)
(despite the success in programmes to make treatments available to those infected, and to educate the populace in general about how to stop the spread of ‘HIV/AIDS’, the number of people with AIDS rose from 290,000 in 2005 to 320,000 in 2013)
(as of 2014, ‘Botswana’ has the 3rd-highest prevalence rate for ‘HIV/AIDS’)
