My triumphant march through southern Africa continues

Zambia, bitches. First-time visitor from Zambia recently, giving me near-total dominance over southern Africa, at least in a digital way. The Republic of Zambia is a land-locked country bordered by the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the north, Tanzania to the northeast, Malawi on the east, Mozambique on the southeast, Zimbabwe and Botswana to the south, Namibia to the southwest and Angola to the west. Yeah, that's a lot of neighbors, and yet Zambia is sucking wind. The capital is Lusaka, and most of the people in the country live there or nearby..

Zambia is a former British colony that became independent in 1964. Its main export is copper. The climate is mostly tropical. The national bird is the African fish eagle, which looks a lot like a bald eagle:

Anyway, welcome to the Eff You family, Zambia. At some point, I need to tally what African nations are missing from the Eff You Nation. But for now, welcome Zambia!





Zambia (/ˈzæmbiə/), officially the Republic of Zambia, is a landlocked country in south-central Africa^[8] (although some sources prefer to consider it part of the region of east Africa^[9]), neighbouring the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north, Tanzania to the north-east, Malawi to the east, Mozambique to the southeast, Zimbabwe and Botswana to the south, Namibia to the southwest, and Angola to the west. The capital city is Lusaka, in the south-central part of Zambia. The population is concentrated mainly around Lusaka in the south and the Copperbelt Province to the northwest, the core economic hubs of the country.

On 24 October 1964, Zambia became independent of the United Kingdom
