Zambia

Zambia is ethnically diverse, with more than 70 groups speaking many languages; English is the official language, used to bind the nation together.

Christianity is the dominant faith — Zambia is constitutionally a Christian nation — blended with traditional beliefs.

Society

Zambia has a very young, fast-growing population and is rapidly urbanizing along its 'Copperbelt,' though poverty remains widespread and tied to the swings of copper.
