africa's only wealthy country, it's made up of a number of tiny islands spread out over the indian ocean. the portuguese,
british, and french all came here to trade (and conquer). in the 1970s, it became independent and
drew up a constitution guaranteeing a one party state. 15 years later, a coup changed that. now this nation is doing ok because of tourism and fishing. and it's a good tax haven too. the swiss love to put their
money here.
