位於非洲南部，整個國家被南非共和國包圍。因為全境都在海拔1,000公尺以上，又稱「天空之國」，有著名的禦寒服飾巴索托毛毯(Basotho Blanket)。2021年財政狀況有稍微好轉，但2022年受到極端氣候和戰爭影響，再加上高度仰賴進口，在全球通膨攀升的2022年經濟發展更是雪上加霜，預計恢復速度比非洲國家平均慢。賴索托和南非共和國關係非常密切，除了有80%食物從南非進口外，賴索托更是南非移民來源第三大國，兩國的邊界管控也一直是雙方關注的焦點。因為長期受愛滋病和肺結核所苦，再加上國內治安不佳，謀殺率高，賴索托全國預期壽命僅55.6歲，是全世界第三低，僅高於查德和中非共和國。

Lesotho is the world's largest enclaved country, surrounded entirely by South Africa. It's also the only independent country with a base altitude of more than 1,000 meters. The economy of Lesotho is heavily dependent on South Africa. 80% of their food imports come from South Africa. Lesotho is politically unstable. The military and the police are controlled by different parties and the domestic situation is turbulent. Lesotho's murder rate is ranked one of the highest in the world at a score of 41.2 murders per 100,000 people. The country is also affected by HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis. Lesotho's adult HIV/AIDS prevalence rate is 25%, the second-highest in the world. The resulting large medical expenses have become a huge financial burden to the country.
