Bordering the Mediterranean Sea to the north, Libya lies between Egypt to the east, Sudan to the southeast, Chad and Niger to the south, and Algeria and Tunisia to the west. With an area of almost 1.8 million square kilometres (700,000 sq mi), 90% of which is desert, Libya is the fourth largest country in Africa by area, and the 17th largest in the world. The capital, Tripoli, is home to 1.7 million of Libya's 5.7 million people. The three traditional parts of the country are Tripolitania, the Fezzan and Cyrenaica.</p> <p>The name "Libya" is derived from the Egyptian term "Libu", which refers to one of the tribes of Berber peoples living west of the Nile. In Greek this became "Libya", although in ancient Greece the term had a broader meaning, encompassing all of North Africa west of Egypt, and sometimes referring to the entire continent of Africa.</p> <p>Libya has one of the highest Gross Domestic Products per person in Africa, largely because of its great oil reserves. The country is led by Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi, whose foreign policy has often brought him into conflict with the West.</p></td> </tr> </table> <p class="Text1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libya" target="_blank">More information about Libya from Wikipedia</a></p> <p class="Text1"><a href="https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ly.html" target="_blank">The World Factbook - Libya</a></p> <p class="Text1"><a href="http://astore.amazon.com/opentravel0c-20?%5Fencoding=UTF8&node=105" target="_blank">Libya Travel Books</a></p> <p> </p> </td> <td width="10" valign="top"> </td> <td width="160" valign="top"><script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <p><script type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script></p> <p>  <script type="text/javascript"> var sc_project=2817581; var sc_invisible=0; var sc_partition=28; var sc_security="a9f6e818"; </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.statcounter.com/counter/counter_xhtml.js"></script> </p> <noscript> <div class="statcounter"><a class="statcounter" href="http://www.statcounter.com/"><img src="http://c29.statcounter.com/2817581/0/a9f6e818/0/" alt="free stats" border="0" class="statcounter" /></a></div> </noscript>  </div> </body> </html>
