The Republic of Cabo Verde is a group of ten islands and five islets in the North Atlantic Ocean, west of Senegal. The government is a republic and has a stable democratic government. A president is chief of state and a prime minister is head of government. The population is about 538,000 people.
In the 15th century, the islands were discovered and colonized by the Portuguese. Until 1879, Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau were ruled by Portugal as a single colony. Cabo Verde gained independence in 1975.
Cabo Verde has few natural resources, and the land is too dry for farming. During the second part of the 20th century, repeated droughts were the cause of about 200,000 deaths, and many Cabo Verdeans left the country. Today there are more expatriates than native-born people. In spite of the difficulties, Cabo Verde is economically and politically stable.
Tourism is a growing industry since travellers can enjoy white sand beaches, diving, sailing, and trekking. Some ecotourism is developing, and the town of Cidade Velha in Santiago is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
