BOTSWANA
Formal Name:  Republic of Botswana.

Local Name:  Botswana.

Capital: Gaborone.

Area:  600,370 sq km - slightly smaller than Texas.

National languages: English (official), Setswana.

Currency: Pula.  1 Pula = 100 Thebe.

Population: 1,640,115.

Religions: Christian 15%, Indigenous beliefs 85%.

President: President Festus G. MOGAE (since 1 April 1998).

Misc:  Formerly the British protectorate of Bechuanaland, Botswana adopted its new name upon independence in 1966. Four decades of uninterrupted civilian leadership, progressive social policies, and significant capital investment have created one of the most dynamic economies in Africa. Mineral extraction, principally diamond mining, dominates economic activity, though tourism is a growing sector due to the country's conservation practices and extensive nature preserves. Botswana has one of the world's highest known rates of HIV/AIDS infection, but also one of Africa's most progressive and comprehensive programs for dealing with the disease.
