Swaziland is a landlocked country that shares borders with Mozambique (105 km) and South Africa (430 km).
It was founded by Bantu peoples from Mozambique in the 18th century and became a British protectorate when colonial rule
was established in 1903.
Swaziland was led to independence by Sobhuza II in 1968, and is now a dual monarchy with a King (currently King Mswati III
since April 25, 1986) and Queen Mother.
The two largest cities are Mbabane - the Capital - and Manzini.
