Africa, the second largest continent, hides a landlocked country that is nearly same size of Kansas, France and Spain combined. This is none other than Chad or officially called the Republic of Chad, a home of up to more than a hundred ethnic groups located in Central Africa. No wonder there are over a hundred languages that are spoken in this country. Their official languages are Arabic and French.
Chad has a total land area of 1,284,000 square kilometer or equivalent to 496,000 square miles, this is bigger than twice the size of Texas. In fact, this country ranks 21st as the largest country in the world; larger than United Kingdom, Japan, Germany and Finland. About 70% of the country’s territory is composed of deserts, then mountains, rainforests and savannas. Majority of the areas in Chad enjoys a tropical climate like other African states.
The country is located at the central part of Africa and is a landlocked country, similar to Bolivia in South America, Afghanistan in Asia, and Switzerland in Europe. Chad, being enclosed by land, is bordered by three countries that is known to be rich in oil such as  Libya to the north, Sudan to the east and Nigeria to the west side of Chad. And also bordered by the two poorest nations among the five world’s poorest countries which are Niger to the west, and Central African Republic to the south part of Chad. In addition, this country is one of the most thinly populated area in the continent of Africa together with Botswana and Libya.
