Swaziland in a nutshell

(sourced from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swaziland)

Swaziland, the Kingdom of Swaziland (Umbuso weSwatini), sometimes called Ngwane, is a landlocked country in Southern Africa, bordered to the north, south, and west by South Africa, and to the east by Mozambique.

The nation, as well as its people, are named after the 19th century king Mswati II.

Its population is 1.18 million.

Its capital is Lobamba (royal capital) and Mbabane (administrative capital and the largest city).

Swaziland's economy is dominated by the service industry, manufacturing and agriculture. Some 75% of the population are employed in subsistence farming, and 60% of the population live on less than US$1.25 per day.

Swaziland's main trading partner is South Africa, and its currency is pegged to the South African rand.

Swaziland's economic growth and societal integrity has been highly endangered by an ongoing HIV epidemic.
