The Republic of Zambia is an East UsefulNotes/{{Africa}}n nation, home of the Victoria Falls (one of the [[UsefulNotes/SevenWondersOfTheWorld World’s Seven Natural Wonders]]) and one of the places seen by Dr. David Livingstone.

The country was a British colony for a long time, then known as Northern Rhodesia (there was a Southern Rhodesia, now named UsefulNotes/{{Zimbabwe}}, infamously known for its president, Robert Mugabe, and his unlikely politics). The British held partly because it completed the belt of territory for the (never-achieved) dream of connecting Cape Town and Cairo with a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_to_Cairo_Road road or other transportation link]] (a remnant of which is that one of the major roads in Lusaka is called "Cairo Road"); the Brits also found vast deposits of copper in the country's northern part, which drove further investment. "Northern Rhodesia" achieved its independence in 1964 and was renamed Zambia (after the Zambezi river). [[WindbagPolitician Kenneth Kaunda]] assumed the presidency, holding onto it firmly until 1991. With its copper mines and good agricultural land, Zambia seemed to be in a good position.

Due to this, it is considered the country's national animal.) and a ribbon with the country's motto ("One Zambia, One Nation"). Together, the coat of arms represents minerals and mining, agriculture and wildlife.

The country was an English colony for a long time, then known as Northern Rhodesia (there was a Southern Rhodesia, now named UsefulNotes/{{Zimbabwe}}, infamously known for its president, Robert Mugabe, and his unlikely politics). It achieved its independence in 1964 and it was renamed Zambia (after the Zambezi river). [[WindbagPolitician Kenneth Kaunda]] assumed the presidency, holding onto it firmly until 1991.

Zambia had a lot of troubles, most of them coming from the civil wars, communist regimes and political pressures from its neighboring countries. All that, combined with the fall of the copper prices in the ‘70s threw the country into an economical hellhole, which eventually brought the downfall of Kaunda’s government.

Zambia finally managed to recover itself by the turn of the millennium, controlling the inflation and starting to exploit the mining resources. There has been a large influx of Zimbabweans fleeing their country in Zambia. The Zambian government has begun offering land to white Zimbabwean farmers who were chased off their lands by Mugabe's thugs.
