The full name of Lesotho is the kingdom of Lesotho, one of the southern African countries and a member of the Commonwealth. Lesotho is located in southeast Africa, an inland country, in the eastern edge of the South African Plateau on the western slope of Drakensberg.
Lesotho became independent from Britain on October 4, 1966. Because its territory is completely surrounded by South Africa, it is known as "Country in countries", which is the largest one in the world.
Lesotho is one of the least developed countries in the world declared by the United Nations because of its poor natural resources and weak economic foundation.
