聯合國地理分區為東非，實際位於非洲南端。1980年推翻了由白人統治的政權，第二任總統穆加比開始推行大政府、高福利式社會主義政策，卻也因此累積極高外債。2000年發生大量債務違約，穆加比政府選擇大量印鈔來還錢，卻導致比扯鈴還扯的通膨，最嚴重時期一張面額100兆辛巴威幣只能買3顆雞蛋。2017年發生政變，高齡93歲的穆加比宣布辭職，結束長達37年的高壓統治，留下兩極化的評價。國內自然生態豐富，2021年陷入「非洲象數量過多、必須實施象群撲殺」的保育困境。

Year Founded: 1980

Classified as an East African country by the UN, Zimbabwe actually is located in the southern part of Africa. Following the end of white minority rule in 1980, the second president, Robert Mugabe, started to implement big government and socialistic welfare policies and thus accumulated extremely high foreign debt. In 2000, a wave of defaults took place, and the Mugabi government chose to print money in great quantities to repay the debt, leading to jaw-dropping inflation. At its worst, a 100 trillion Zimbabwean currency note could only buy 3 eggs. Mugabe resigned at age 93 following a coup in 2017, ending 37 years of repressive authoritarian rule and leaving a highly controversial political legacy. A country of rich biodiversity and ecology, in 2021, Zimbabwe faced a conservation dilemma because of the overpopulation of elephants forcing the government to resort to mass culling.
