Mark Tolner comments

An inspiring country with tremendous potential; from the tropical paradise of rain forests to white sandy beaches, Sierra Leone's heritage, history and sophistication happily co-exist with nature to create a unique harmonious ambience.

Sierra Leone is located in West Africa, on the North Atlantic Ocean, between Guinea and Liberia, and has to be one of the most fascinating countries in the world.

It possesses substantial mineral, agricultural, and fishery resources, although nearly 50% of the working-age population works in agriculture.

Little economic development was undertaken in the protectorate until the 1950s, although a railroad was built and the production for export of palm products and peanuts was encouraged.

The Sierra Leone judicial system consists of the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, High Court of Justice, and magistrate courts. The president appoints and parliament approves justices for the three courts.

Freetown has a population of over one million, and is the largest city and capital of Sierra Leone. It is located in the Western Area, and a port on the Freetown Peninsula on the Atlantic coast. Freetown's economy revolves around its harbour, which handles the country's main exports. Industries include fish packing, rice milling, petroleum refining, and the manufacture of cigarettes.
