Timor-Leste
Timor-Leste occupies the eastern half of a rugged island at the edge of the Indonesian archipelago, where dry savanna hillsides drop sharply to coral-fringed coastline. It is one of Southeast Asia's youngest nations, having gained independence in 2002, and that history shapes everything from its Portuguese-inflected street signs to its resilient, unhurried pace of life.
About Timor-Leste
Overview
Timor-Leste sits at the eastern end of the Lesser Sunda Islands, sharing a land border with Indonesia and facing Australia across the Timor Sea. The capital, Dili, is the political and commercial centre. Tetum and Portuguese are the official languages; the currency is the US dollar. The country is predominantly Catholic, a legacy of Portuguese colonial rule that sets it apart from its largely Muslim neighbours.
