Namibia is a nation in Southern Africa with the official name, the Republic of Namibia. Its surface area of 824,290 square kilometers makes it roughly half the size of the state of Alaska in the United States. It ranges from the desert on the coast and in the east to dry in the north. The scenery is breathtaking and includes a desert, mountains, canyons, and savannas.

Windhoek is Namibia's largest and capital city. The African Union (AU), the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the United Nations (UN), and the Commonwealth of Nations are all organizations that Namibia is a member of. The driest nation in all of Africa is Namibia. The dangerous reefs and shoals along the coast, the near-deserts along the Orange River, the dry Kalahari region to the east, and the coastal Namib desert who is also called the "Skeleton Coast" due to Namibia's late conquest.

History:



Since prehistoric times, the San, Damara, and Nama have lived in Namibia's dry lands. Otto von Bismarck declared Namibia a German colony in 1884 as a means of preventing what he saw as British encroachment; it was then known as German South West Africa. South African troops led by General Louis Botha occupied the region during World War I and toppled the German colonial government. South West Africa remained a part of South Africa after the war and the Treaty of Versailles, at first as a League of Nations mandate, until 1990. German South-West Africa was the first name given to the region before it gained independence in 1990, followed by South-West Africa, reflecting the colonial rule of South Africa and Germany.

Culture:



Namibia has a variety of cultures. Similar to how the cultures of the Afrikaners and the German-speaking community and both of those communities differ from the more diverse technical assistance community, so do African and Creole cultures. Numerous holidays and festivals are observed, the majority of which are significant from a religious or historical perspective, though they may not always have a clear current meaning. Sports are popular with both participants and spectators. The white communities participate in a wide range of sports, whereas the black communities primarily play football (soccer).

Language:



Only 3% of Namibians speak English at home, despite it being the only language recognized as official. The predominant tongue used is Oshiwambo. The majority of people in the country speak Afrikaans. German or Afrikaans are spoken by the majority of white people.

Geography:



Namibia is the third-largest country in the world with an area of 825,615 km2. Generally speaking, it is located between latitudes 17° and 29°S and longitudes 11° and 26°E. The Central Plateau, the Kalahari, and the coastal Namib desert make up Namibia's three main topographic zones, which run from west to east. The Namib is primarily composed of rocks, but there are also dunes in the central portion.
