The Nations of Africa
The area of a nation is how much land it occupies. The population
is the number of people who live in a nation. Density is the
population divided by the area. It describes how crowded a nation
is. The Gross Domestic Product is the total value of goods
and services in a nation. The GDP per capita is the Gross Domestic
Product divided by the population. Life Expectancy
describes how long a typical person in that nation will live. Fertility
is the number of children a typical woman will have over her lifetime.
The Annual Growth Rate is the percent change in population.
