abstract	Zanzibar is a unitary parliamentary republic with a supreme parliament. The national legislature is the Assembly, a unicameral body with 150 seats. The Prime Minister, the national head of government is elected through a vote of confidence within the Assembly, with the leader of the largest party in the Assembly typically being the winner. The Prime Minister then selects the Ministers for the creation of their government, and all of these people are officially appointed into power by the President, the ceremonial head of state. The Zanzibarian system of government is based upon the Westminster system, a legacy of its British colonial history which was adopted following the creation of the second national Constitution in 1946. The islands of Zanzibar have been inhabited for over 22,000 years, with trade routes known to have existed with ancient Sumer and Assyria around 2450 BCE. Traders from Arabia, primarily Yemen, began constant voyages to the island around 50 CE, though it would be as late as 900 CE for permanent Bantu urban sites to be founded. By 1107 the first mosque was established, and the Kilwa Sultanate would rule until their decline around 1500. In 1503, the Portuguese Empire took the islands, whose lack of oversight saw the rise of powerful European pirate bands. The Sultan of Oman took over the islands in 1698, though the Omanis were later expelled by the Zanzibarian Revolt in 1717, a pirate-slave rebellion which saw the rise of the Free Isles of Zanzibar. Free Isles rule would last until the British Empire took the islands in 1816 due to rampant Indian Ocean piracy, thus creating the Zanzibar Colony. Colonial rule in Zanzibar became similar to colonial rule in British South Africa, because Zanzibar had a significant population of White Europeans due to its nearly one hundred years of independence as the Free Isles. Under British rule, immigration would only increase, and by 1856, the majority of the islands' population was of European ancestry. Zanzibar would continue to play an important role in the development of British East Africa during the entirety of its colonial ownership by Britain, as its lucrative spice production and developed port gave it great commercial and strategic value. During the First World War, Zanzibarian local brigades played an important role in the capture of German East Africa, and thereafter, a desire for the creation of an independent Zanzibarian state came about in the common consciousness of the islanders. In 1926, following the Balfour Declaration, Zanzibar was granted limited home rule, but this did not entirely sate local desires for independence. Hence, following the 1931 Statute of Westminster, Zanzibar was granted full home rule as a Commonwealth. After the end of the Second World War, Zanzibar abolished the monarchy, passing its second constitution and establishing the contemporary Republic in 1946. Zanzibar has remained an officially neutral country since, taking a hard line stance of non-alignment in international affairs. The economy of Zanzibar is considered to be developed, one of the few in Africa to be as such, with a strong mixture of exportation and tourism. It is the only sovereign African state to be a high-income economy and the only sovereign Sub-Saharan state with a very high Human Development Index ranking. With a long history of spice production, Zanzibar has continuously maintained a solid export basis of cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and black pepper. Alongside these spices, Zanzibar also exports coconuts, coir, copal, and rice. In more recent years, due to the advent of globalisation and the advancing methods of air travel, Zanzibar has also developed a tourist industry which is considered one of the largest and most integral in Sub-Saharan Africa. Overall, Zanzibar is considered to have a free market economy with high levels of economic freedom and a high standard of living. Zanzibar has been a permanently neutral country since its creation as a Republic, taking neither side during the Cold War and instead remaining devoted to internal economic development. The only military actions Zanzibar has been involved with since its inception as a Republic have been in United Nations peacekeeping missions and anti-piracy in the Indian Ocean. Alongside this, Zanzibar has resisted the tide of regional economic integration through organisations such as the EAC and the SADC because of isolationist sentiment and the problem of illegal immigration from the mainland. Nonetheless, it remains unopposed to involvement in intergovernmental organisations based on the creation of lasting peace, and hence, Zanzibar is a member of the United Nations, the Non-Aligned Movement, and the African Union.
