位於東非海運要道，是船隻往返亞丁灣和紅海的轉運樞紐。也因為其重要的地理位置，加上擁有天然深水港，成為美國、法國、日本、中國的駐外海軍基地首選。但國內大部分是沙漠，缺乏自然資源，所以經濟發展程度非常低， 是阿拉伯國家聯盟倒數第二名， 也是全球最不發達國家之一。目前僅能依靠出借軍港給重要大國，勉強維持國家運作， 但也面對著捲入區域衝突的巨大風險。

Year Founded: 1977

Located on one of the critical ocean shipping lanes of East Africa, Djibouti is a transportation hub for vessels traveling between the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea. On top of its strategically important location, having a natural deep water harbor also makes Djibouti a top naval base choice for the US, France, Japan, and China. However, covered mostly by deserts, the state is economically underdeveloped, ranking second-to-last among the Arab League nations. It is also one of the least developed countries in the world. The state can barely maintain its operations by leasing military ports to big powers while running the immense risk of being caught in a regional conflict.
