茅利塔尼亞伊斯蘭共和國
位於西非的阿拉伯國家,1960年從法屬西非獨立出來,目前政局不算穩定。是全球最後一個廢除奴隸制的國家,直到2022年聯合國仍在該國致力於根除奴隸現象,尤其著重於奴隸形式的婚姻和童工這兩塊。2014年美國企業在該國和塞內加爾的海上發現巨大天然氣儲量,預計2023年開始開採,料將為該國帶來每年超過1億美元的收入,並創造數百個工作機會。國內遵守嚴格伊斯蘭律法,同性性行為可能會被判處死刑。

Mauritania is an Arab state in West Africa. After breaking away from French West Africa in 1960, it has seen multiple coup d'états and remains a highly unstable political state. Mauritania once competed with Morocco for sovereignty over Western Sahara. It then withdrew from the fight in 1978 and switched its support the national self-determination movement of the Polisario Front. It was the last country in the world to officially abolish slavery. Until 2016, 1% of the population was still trapped in forced labor. Islamic teachings play an instrumental role in its judicial system and people also live their lives according to the doctrine. Oh, one more trivial fact to share: the society of Mauritania perceives plus size women as a symbol of wealth.
