I chose East Timor. East Timor is  small country only covering around 5,400 square miles. East Timor is very mountainous, the height mountain is 9,721 feet high and is called Tatamailau. East Timor has a tropical climate and is usually hot and humid.

The population of East Timor is about 1 million but has recently been rising faster than usual because of high birth rate and returning refugees.

East Timor is a Unitary parliamentary democracy. the president is Jose Ramos-Horta. East Timor declared its independence from Portugal and Indonesia in 1975. they restored independence in 2002.

In 1999 about 70% of the economic infrastructure was destroyed by Indonesian troops and Anti-independence militia. East Timor has a large coffee industry.
