	Polity IV Country Report 2003: Tanzania (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		With the exception of the electoral contests in Zanzibar (a semi-autonomous island in the Indian Ocean which merged with the mainland state of Tanganyika in 1964 to form the Republic of Tanzania), international observers deemed the national elections of 1995 and 2000 to be procedurally free and institutionally competitive.

		However, the factional dimension of politics in Tanzania, unlike most other countries in Africa, is not based on ethnicity (with the exception of the cultural division between the "African" mainland and the "Muslim" Zanzibar archipelago).
