| MALTA |
GEOGRAPHY: Malta, officially the Republic of Malta, is a small and densely
populated island nation consisting of an archipelago of seven islands in the middle
of the Mediterranean Sea. Malta lies directly south of Sicily, east of Tunisia and north
of Libya.
Malta is an archipelago in the central Mediterranean Sea, some 93 km south of Sicily.
Only the three largest islands Malta Island (Malta), Gozo (Għawdex), and Comino
(Kemmuna) are inhabited. Numerous bays along the indented coastline of the
islands provide good harbours. The landscape is characterised by low hills with
terraced fields. The highest point, which even many locals have no idea how to
locate, is the Ta' Dmejrek on Malta Island at 253 metres (830 ft) near Dingli.
POLITICS: Malta is a republic enjoying representative democracy, whose
parliamentary system and public administration is closely modelled on the
Westminster system.
The President of the Republic is elected every five years by the House of
Representatives. The role of the president as head of state is highly ceremonial.
HISTORY: Malta has been inhabited since around 5200 BC. A significant prehistoric
culture, that predates the Pyramids of Giza by a millennium, is believed to have
existed on the islands. Phoenicians colonized the islands around 1000 BC, using
them as an outpost from which they expanded sea explorations and trade in the
Mediterranean.
