About Liberia

Liberia is a West African country established by the American Colonization Society, working to repatriate former enslaved black Americans and send them to greater freedom.

The country of Liberia is bordered by Guinea, Cote d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) and Sierra Leone, with a small coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. Liberia is the 103rd largest country in the world by area and is only a little bit bigger than the U.S. state of Tennessee.

Liberia follows a dual system of statutory law, which is based on Anglo-American common law for the modern sector. Liberia has three equal branches of government in the constitution, with the executive branch led by the president being strongest. The other two branches are the legislature and the supreme court of Liberia, much like the governmental branches in the United States.

Liberia has the 68th highest GDP growth rate in the world. The country has the unique distinction of having the highest ratio of foreign direct investment to GDP in the whole world. The trading partners of Liberia include Germany, Poland, South Africa, India, Greece, US, Norway, South Korea, Singapore, Japan, China and Taiwan.
