GEOGRAPHY: Belarus is landlocked, relatively flat, and contains large tracts of marshy land. Lakes and rivers

POLITICS: Belarus is a republic, governed by a President and a bicameral parliament—the National Assembly—
comprising a lower house, the 110 member House of Representatives, and an upper house, the 64 member Council
of the Republic.
HISTORY OF THE NAME: Historically, the country was referred to in English as "White Russia". Although this is not
exactly correct – the correct translation is "White Ruthenia" – the practice continues to this day in other languages.
