The Vastness Of Africa

The US is a very popular country, probably the most popular in the world. Many, on the other hand, do not know much about this continent. According to Indo-African, Africa comprises 54 independent nations and 10 non-sovereign territories. Among them, Algeria takes the crown for being the largest in the territory, while the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan take the succeeding spots. When it comes to the total population of the continent, World Population Review indicated that it has over 1.4 billion people.

Those unaware of geography would mistake Africa to be one country, but in fact, it is one continent, the cradle of civilization at that. Despite it being the second largest continent in the world, it has a very short coastline. Meanwhile, Islam receives credit for being the dominant religion in the area.
