Lesotho, officially the Kingdom of Lesotho, is a landlocked country located in Southern Africa. It is geographically unique as the largest sovereign enclave in the world, entirely surrounded by South Africa. Situated primarily within the Maloti Mountains, the country's rugged terrain gives it the nickname 'The Mountain Kingdom' or 'The Kingdom in the Sky.' Its economy is heavily reliant on remittances and mining, while its culture is deeply rooted in Basotho traditions. The capital and largest city is Maseru, which serves as the primary administrative and commercial hub.
