    The Republic of Zambia (formerly Northern Rhodesia), a
    landlocked country in south-central Africa, has an area of
    290,586 sq. mi. (752,610 sq. km.) and a population of*7.9 million.
    Capital: Lusaka. The economy of Zambia is based principally on
    copper, of which Zambia is the world's third largest producer.
    Copper, zinc, lead, cobalt and tobacco are exported.
    The area that is now Zambia was brought within the British
    sphere of influence in 1888 by empire builder Cecil Rhodes, who
    obtained mining concessions in south-central Africa from indigenous
    chiefs. The territory was ruled by the British South Africa
    Company, which Rhodes established, until 1924 when its administration
    was transferred to the British government as a protectorate.
    In1953, Northern Rhodesia was joined with Nyasaland
    and the colony of Southern Rhodesia to form the Federation of
    Rhodesia and Nyasaland. Northern Rhodesia seceded from the
    Federation on Oct. 24, 1964, and became the independent
    Republic of Zambia. Zambia is a member of the Commonwealth
    of Nations. The president is Chief of State.
