Zambia ( /ˈzæmbiə/), officially the Republic of Zambia, is a landlocked country in Southern Africa. The neighbouring countries are the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north, Tanzania to the north-east, Malawi to the east, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia to the south, and Angola to the west. The capital city is Lusaka, located in the south-central part of the country. The population is concentrated mainly around Lusaka in the south and the Copperbelt Province to the northwest.
Originally inhabited by Khoisan peoples, the region which comprises modern Zambia was colonised during the Bantu expansion of the thirteenth century. After visits by European explorers in the eighteenth century, Zambia became the British colony of Northern Rhodesia towards the end of the nineteenth century. For most of the colonial period, the country was governed by an administration appointed from London with the advice of the British South Africa Company.
On 24 October 1964, the country declared independence from the United Kingdom and then-prime minister Kenneth Kaunda became the inaugural president. Kaunda's socialist United National Independence Party (UNIP) maintained power from the 1964 until 1991. From 1972 to 1991 Zambia was a single-party state with the UNIP as the sole-legal political party, with the goal of uniting the nation under the banner of 'One Zambia, One Nation'. Kaunda was succeeded by Frederick Chiluba of the social-democratic Movement for Multi-Party Democracy in 1991, during which the country saw a rise in social-economic growth and increased decentralisation of government.

Hey Zambia where you hide?
I could find you if i tried
Here i go, Here i come.
Playing this game so much fun
Playing ghosts in the dark
Country houses far apart
See your grandad smoking pipe,
Hear the birds cry in the night.
See my Emily, calling out to me,
Waving to me from the past.
Merrily we play, Merrilly we play
Vague recollections that last.
Oooh Zambia
Making castles in the sand
See the big ship far from land.
Watch them go, watch them come.
Eating ice cream in the sun.
Hey girl what you do tonight?
Ask your mummy if alright
That your coming out with me,
We'll make love behind the tree.
See my Emily, calling out to me,
Waving to me from the past.
Merrily we play, Merrilly we play
