Lying in the central Atlantic Ocean, the near 4,000-square-kilometre Cape Verde is an archipelago consisting of ten volcanic islands, located west of Africa's westernmost point, Cap-Vert. These islands were untouched until the 15th century when Portuguese explorers discovered, colonised, and turned them into the first European settlement in the tropics. As a result, Cape Verde played a key role in the Atlantic slave trade and experienced economic prosperity in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Now an independent democracy since 1975, Cape Verde's economy is primarily service-oriented with a heavy emphasis on tourism and foreign investment. The nation teems with multicultural vibrancy. The population majorly comprises people of mixed African and European ancestry, with the national language being Cape Verdean Creole, spoken by the majority. Named after the Senegalese Cap-Vert peninsula, Cape Verde is particularly noted for its laudable stability and growth, despite its limited natural resources.
