Sahara

The Tunisian Republic or Tunisia, is a country situated on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa.

It is the easternmost and smallest of the nations situated along the Atlas mountain range, bordering Algeria, to the west, and Libya to the south and east.

It is the only country in North Africa recognised by the National Maps as a nation exactly in its present form.

40 % of the country is comprised of the Sahara desert, with much of the remainder consisting of particularly fertile soil, with easily accessible coasts. Both played a prominent role in ancient times, first with the famous Phoenician city of Carthage, and later, as the Africa Province, it became known as the bread basket of the Roman Empire.

It is thought that the name Tunis originated from Berber, meaning either a geographical promontory, or, "to spend the night."
