Algeria, officially the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria, is a country in the Maghreb region of North Africa. It covers an area of over 2,381,741 square kilometres (919,595 sq mi), and is the largest country in Africa and the tenth-largest country in the world by land area. With a population of over 47 million, Algeria is the tenth-most populous country in Africa. It is bordered to the northeast by Tunisia; to the east by Libya; to the southeast by Niger; to the southwest by Mali, Mauritania, and Western Sahara; to the west by Morocco; and to the north by the Mediterranean Sea. Algeria's largest city is Algiers, located in the far north on the Mediterranean coast. Algeria has a semi-arid climate, with the Sahara desert dominating most of the territory except for its fertile and mountainous north, where most of the population is concentrated. Its official languages are Arabic and Tamazight, while the vast majority of the population speak the Algerian dialect of Arabic. The usage of French persists in media, education, and certain administrative purposes, but has no official status. Demographically, most Algerians identify as Arabs, while Berbers form a sizeable minority. Sunni Islam is the official religion and practised by 99 percent of the population. (Full article...)
