Liberia

Liberia sits on West Africa's Atlantic edge, where dense tropical rainforest pushes almost to the shoreline and red laterite roads cut through villages of corrugated iron and flowering trees. It is one of Africa's oldest republics, founded by freed American slaves in 1847, and that history shapes everything from its flag to its architecture.
