A country in Southern Africa. Known for its desert and the San people who live there. One of the major tribes, the Herero were nearly decimated under German occupation of the country. It's capital city is Windhoek. Is one of the world's youngest nations, having only been independent since 1990, when it fought South Africa

to gain its independence.

Not only is one of the least densely populated contries (second only after Mongolia), it also has a huge income inequality (partially because of the Apartheid era). It's also expensive, since a lot of things have to be imported from other countries.

A Nazi by Any Other Name: In Windhoek, Goerring Street is not named after Hermann G�rring. It is, however, named after his ancestor, Heinrich G�rring, who has just as much of a history.
The Apartheid Era: One of the things that triggered the war of independence.
Crossing the Desert: Namib and Kalahari Desert.

The Namibian flag

The blue half symbolizes the sky and the Atlantic Ocean, while the green half to vegetation and natural resources; in between is a diagonal band colored red to signify the Namibians, whose white fimbriations symbolize peace and unity; and the yellow twelve-rayed sun at the canton symbolizes energy. The colors combine the blue/red/green color scheme of the South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO), Namibia's dominant party, and the red/white/blue of the Democratic Turnhalle Alliance (DTA), the SWAPO's conservative opposition coalition.
