The Republic of Zimbabwe is a landlocked nation in south-central Africa bordered by South Africa to its south, Botswana to the west, Zambia to the south, and Mozambique to its north and east. Most of its 390,580 sq km (150,803 sq mi) occupies fertile plateaus and mountainous regions between the Zambezi and Limpopo Rivers. Zimbabwe's population is 12.3 million (2002 estimate) with more than 30 people per sq km (75 per sq mi).
Zimbabwe's population is composed of two broad multi-tribal groupings, the Shona (about 77%) primarily located in the north, and the Ndebele (about 18%) who are concentrated in the southern area of Matabeleland. Less than one percent of the population is of European descent, with even fewer Asians and people of mixed race. The major religions in Zimbabwe are traditional animism (often in combination with Christianity), 50%; Christianity (Anglican), 24%; and Islam, 24%. Zimbabwe's official language is English but Shona and Sindebele are widely spoken.
The Zimbabwean economy is fueled by an abundant natural resource base. Zimbabwe's primary industrial products are processed metals, clothing, and chemicals.
