1. Navn:<\/strong>\u00a0Zambias navn stammer fra elven Zambezi. Ordet \"Zambezi\" kommer fra det lokale ordet \"yambezi\", som betyr \"hjertet av alt\".<\/p>\n

2. Hovedstad:<\/strong>\u00a0Hovedstaden Lusaka var opprinnelig planlagt for \u00e5 huse 200 000 mennesker - n\u00e5 bor det over 1,5 millioner her! Zambias f\u00f8rste hovedstad var byen Livingstone.<\/p>\n

3. Foss:<\/strong>\u00a0Zambia har totalt 17 fossefall - 10 av dem ligger i den nordlige delen av landet. Den st\u00f8rste, vakreste og mest kjente er Victoriafallene s\u00f8r i landet, p\u00e5 grensen til Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

4. V\u00e6r og klima:<\/strong>\u00a0Fra oktober til april er det regntid i landet, noe som inneb\u00e6rer flere \"regnstormer\" og minner mest om en \u00f8stasiatisk monsun. Klimaet er ellers mildt, og temperaturen n\u00e5r sjelden opp i 35 grader.<\/p>\n

5. Termitter:<\/strong>\u00a0Termittbo i Zambia kan \"vokse\" seg like store som menneskeskapte hytter<\/p>\n

\"Fakta:

Fakta: David Livingstone var den f\u00f8rste europeeren som s\u00e5 Zambezi-elven. Han ga den navnet \"Victoriafallene\", som i dag er navnet p\u00e5 verdens st\u00f8rste fossefall s\u00f8r i landet.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Boliger:<\/strong>\u00a0Store deler av Zambia er tynt befolket, og det store flertallet av landets befolkning bor i det mest utviklede omr\u00e5det som kalles \"Line of Rail\". I dette omr\u00e5det g\u00e5r det en jernbane som forbinder kobberbeltet (et gruveomr\u00e5de rikt p\u00e5 kobber) med hovedstaden Lusaka og grensebyen Livingstone i s\u00f8r.<\/p>\n

7. Gruvedrift:<\/strong>\u00a0Det har v\u00e6rt drevet gruvedrift i Zambia i mer enn 2000 \u00e5r, og det er s\u00e6rlig kobber og jern som utvinnes. Kobber er fortsatt Zambias viktigste naturressurs, og landet er verdens femte st\u00f8rste kobberprodusent.<\/p>\n

8. Fattigdom:<\/strong>\u00a0Zambia er et av verdens fattigste land og ligger lavt p\u00e5 FNs Human Development Index. 64% av befolkningen lever under fattigdomsgrensen. 14,9% av alle barn er undervektige.<\/p>\n

9. David Livingstone:<\/strong>\u00a0Den f\u00f8rste europeeren som kom til Zambia, var portugiseren Francisco de Lacerda p\u00e5 slutten av 1700-tallet. P\u00e5 1800-tallet kom flere europeere til landet. Av disse var briten David Livingstone den mest fremtredende med sin visjon om \u00e5 f\u00e5 slutt p\u00e5 slaveriet gjennom \"kristendom, handel og sivilisasjon\". Byen Livingstone er oppkalt etter ham.<\/p>\n

10. Nord-Rhodesia:<\/strong>\u00a0I 1888 fikk det britiske selskapet \"BSA Company\" mineralrettighetene til en del av landet som senere ble til Nordvest-Rhodesia. Den andre halvdelen av landet fikk derimot navnet Nord\u00f8st-Rhodesia. I 1911 ble de to delene sl\u00e5tt sammen til den britiske kolonien Nord-Rhodesia. S\u00f8r-Rhodesia var det n\u00e5v\u00e6rende Zimbabwe. I 1964 ble Zambia et selvstendig land og har siden da hatt tre grunnlover.<\/p>\n
