Belarus, officially known as the Republic of Belarus, is a landlocked country located in Eastern Europe. It shares borders with Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia. With a population of around 9.4 million people, Belarus is one of the least populous nations in Europe.
Belarus has a diverse cultural heritage and a long history intertwined with its neighboring countries. It gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991 and established itself as a presidential republic. However, the country has been under the authoritarian rule of President Alexander Lukashenko since 1994, leading to political controversies and human rights concerns.
The economy of Belarus relies heavily on manufacturing and agriculture, particularly in sectors such as machinery, chemicals, and food processing. It has close economic ties with Russia and is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union. Minsk, the capital and largest city, is the country's political, economic, and cultural center.
Belarus faces challenges such as limited political freedoms, censorship, and strained relations with Western countries due to its government's policies. However, it also possesses a rich cultural heritage, with numerous historical sites, traditional arts, and folk traditions that contribute to its identity.
