see, without the use of google or whatever.. browsing the "worlds map" in your brain really makes you think about the geography and the locations of specific countries, it was actually a traveling game I made up when I was young for those long car rides with the parents, I can off the top of my head know the geographical location of pretty much every country on the planet because of this.

games are fun!

The Island of Zanzibar consists of two main islands, Pemba and Unguja with some 50 smaller islands surrounding the archipelago. Unguja is the main and most developed island. Many people refer to it as Zanzibar, so please do not get confused when we refer to it as Unguja. The population of Zanzibar is about 800,000 people, of which 150,000 are found on Pemba. The majority of people inhabit Stone Town (which is the "capital" of Zanzibar). Many of the rural people prefer the fertile Northern section of the island, whilst the East Coast has coral rag, and provides the most spectacular beaches and holiday destinations.

the island still exists, but its not a country of its own anymore and hasn't been since 1964.

It's the "Nation" of Tanzania.

It says the area consists of the islands Mafia, Pemba, and Zanzibar.. Though this is classified as a "national of tanzania" most of the world still considers Zanzibar a country of it's own.

[Gusto]

nation means country. zanzibar is not its own country, it doesn't matter what people think. they are wrong. just say doh and we'll move on. ;)

[neoh]

no, damn you.

Zanzibar is an island state within the United Republic of Tanzania . It has own semi-autonomous government made up of a Revolutionary Council and a House of Representatives!

[Gusto]

semi-autonomous. semi. provinces and states are semi-autonomous too, but they are still part of larger countries.

[mapleleaf4ever]

One Flag = One Country... by that standard Quebec would be damn close to being their own Country... OH WAIT THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT!!! FROG BASTARDS!!!!

[robyn]

Maybe you should all quit arguing and check out how rad norfolk island is. It was settled by bounty mutineers and their tahitian whores and thrives to this day! I'm totally moving there.

[mapleleaf4ever]
