賴比瑞亞共和國

位於西非，1847年由一批解放後的美國黑奴前往開墾，成為非洲最早獨立的現代主權國家，國名就是根源於拉丁語「自由」（liber）。但長期受到內戰所苦，經濟發展相當落後，人類發展指數落在全球倒數二十名內。現任總統喬治維阿是AC米蘭知名球星，曾獲得世界足球先生、歐洲足球先生和非洲足球先生。許多人認為他是有史以來最偉大的非洲職業足球員。 Year Founded: 1847 Liberia is situated in West Africa. In 1847, the Americo-Liberian settlers moved into Liberia and established the first truly independent sovereign state in Africa. The country's name is derived from the Latin word “Liber,” meaning freedom or liberty. Liberia is constantly plagued by civil war and its economy is extremely underdeveloped. It ranks in the bottom 20 on the human development index. The incumbent president George Weah was a famous footballer who played for AC Milan. He has won several important titles, including FIFA World Player of the Year, European Footballer of the Year, and African Footballer of the Year. Many people believe he is one of the best professional footballers in Africa.
