	Botswana
		The roots of Botswana's democracy lie in Setswana traditions, exemplified by the Kgotla, or village council, in which the powers of traditional leaders were limited by custom and law.
		District commissioners have executive authority and are appointed by the central government and assisted by elected and nominated district councilors and district development committees.
		Botswana's impressive economic record has been built on a foundation of diamond mining, with prudent fiscal policies, international financial and technical assistance, and careful foreign policy ensuring success.

		Botswana has supplanted its African neighbors to become, by value, the largest diamond producer in the world, with an annual output exceeding 17 million carats.
		Botswana, along with its Namibian neighbor, is home to the majority of the San and Khoi people, more popularly known in days past as the "bushman." These people were the first modern inhabitants of Southern Africa.
		Botswana's rainfall figures are low and unreliable as a result of the inability of the moist air from the coast to penetrate the high atmospheric pressure that normally prevails over the country.
