Liberia covers roughly 43,000 square miles. The capital is Monrovia and the total population is 3.24 million. Geographically, Liberia breaks down into three areas: Mangrove swamps and beaches along the coast, wooded hills and semideciduous shrublands along the immediate interior, and dense tropical forests and plateaus in the interior. Liberia has 40% of West Africa's rain forest.
The people of Liberia are known as Liberians. The ethnic breakdown is Kpelle 20%, Bassa 16%, Gio 8%, Kru 7%, 49% spread over 12 other ethnic groups. Religious break down is Christian 30%, Muslim 10%, animist 60%. English is the official language, but there are also 16 indigenous languages. Life expectancy is 47 years and the literacy rate is 56 percent.
As these Liberia facts demonstrate, the country is coming out of a brutal civil war. While it will be a struggle to recover, the election of the first female president in Africa may be a sign of a willingness to forgo the old ways.
