Swaziland is a country in Southern Africa, lying between Mozambique and South Africa. The country is located at the geographic coordinates 26°30′S 31°30′E. Swaziland has an area of 17,363 square kilometres, of which 160 are water. The major regions of the country are Lowveld, Midveld and Highveld.
The Swazis have retained their cultural identity despite growing western influence. While many people find it convenient to dress in western clothes, large numbers still stick to the traditional brightly coloured native attire.
Swaziland is divided into four regions. These regions are subdivided into 55 tinkhundla. These, in turn, are divided into imiphakatsi.
