位於非洲南部的內陸國。曾經是最貧窮的國家之一，但現在是僅次於俄羅斯的世界第二大鑽石生產國，所以在俄羅斯遭全球制裁後，波札那的鑽石產業因此得利。除此之外，成功的疫苗接種運動和有效的經濟政策，都讓波札那在2022年快速回到正軌。根據非洲進出口銀行的2022年報告，波札那被評比為COVID-19經濟衰退後最快復甦的非洲國家之一。波札那是全世界大象數量最多的國家，和鄰國辛巴威加起來擁有世界上50%的大象種群。但同一時間也爭取象牙貿易合法化，用來為國家發展提供更多資金，甚至在2022年揚言退出聯合國《瀕臨絕種野生動植物國際貿易公約》(CITES)。象牙貿易合法化的消息一出，動物保育團體出聲撻伐，認為會使盜獵行為更加猖狂。
