Botswana,
officially the Republic of Botswana, is a landlocked
nation in Southern Africa. Citizens of Botswana
are Batswana (singular: Motswana), regardless of
ethnicity. Formerly the British protectorate of
Bechuanaland, Botswana adopted its new name after
becoming independent within the Commonwealth on
September 30, 1966. It is bordered by South Africa
to the south and southeast, Namibia to the west,
Zambia to the north, and Zimbabwe to the northeast.
The economy, closely tied to South Africa's, is
dominated by mining (especially diamonds), tourism,
and cattle. The capital city of Botswana is Gaborone.
Some of the last great population of wild animals
left in Africa are found in Botswana. They constitute
a tourism attraction that has yet to be fully exploited.
