  • The uninhabited islands were discovered and colonized by the Portuguese in the 15th century; Cape Verde subsequently became a trading center for African slaves and later an important coaling and resupply stop for whaling and transatlantic shipping. Following independence in 1975, and a tentative interest in unification with Guinea-Bissau, a one-party system was established and maintained until multi-party elections were held in 1990. Cape Verde continues to exhibit one of Africa's most stable democratic governments. Repeated droughts during the second half of the 20th century caused significant hardship and prompted heavy emigration. As a result, Cape Verde's expatriate population is greater than its domestic one. Most Cape Verdeans have both African and Portuguese antecedents.
  • Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, African west coast
  • Christianity is the religion of 95% of the population. Roman Catholicism is the most popular Christian denomination, followed by 85% of Cape Verde's people. There are small Muslim and Baha'i communities. Less than 1% of Cape Verde's people are atheists. Less than 0.1% are Buddhists.
  • The flag of Cape Verde consists of five unequal horizontal bands; the top-most band of blue — equal to one half the width of the flag — is followed by three bands of white, red, and white, each equal to 1/12 of the width, and a bottom stripe of blue equal to one quarter of the flag width; a circle of 10, yellow, five-pointed stars is centered on the red stripe and positioned 3/8 of the length of the flag from the hoist side.
