IZambia, igama eligcwele leRiphabhulikhi yaseZambia, ihlanganisa indawo engamakhilomitha-skwele angama-750,000, iningi lawo elingelendawo eyethafa. Izwe elingenamanzi elitholakala eningizimu emaphakathi ne-Afrika. Imingcele yeTanzania ngasenyakatho-mpumalanga, iMalawi empumalanga, iMozambique ngaseningizimu-mpumalanga, iZimbabwe, iBotswana neNamibia eningizimu, i-Angola entshonalanga, kanye neCongo (Golden) neTanzania ngasenyakatho. Izindawo eziningi kule nsimu zingamathafa aphakame ngamamitha ayi-1000-1500, futhi indawo evame ukuba semithambekeni ukusuka enyakatho-mpumalanga kuya eningizimu-ntshonalanga. Insimu yonke ihlukaniswe izifunda ezinhlanu ngokwe-geomorphology: iGreat Rift Valley enyakatho-mpumalanga, iKate Plateau enyakatho, iKalahari Basin eningizimu-ntshonalanga, iLuangwa-Malawi Plateau eningizimu-mpumalanga kanye neLuangwa River Basin phakathi indawo. Intaba iMafinga emngceleni osenyakatho-mpumalanga ingamamitha angu-2 164 ngaphezu kogu lolwandle, okuyindawo ephakeme kakhulu ezweni. UMfula iZambezi ugeleza unqamule entshonalanga naseningizimu, futhi kukhona iMpophoma edumile iMosi Otunya (iVictoria Falls) emfuleni. Umfula iLuapula ezindaweni eziphezulu zoMfula iCongo (iZaire River) uqhamuka endaweni. Isimo sezulu sotshani obushisayo sehlukaniswe izizini ezintathu: kupholile futhi komile (ngoMeyi-Agasti), kuyashisa futhi komile (Septhemba-Novemba) futhi kufudumele futhi kumanzi (Disemba-Ephreli).

Izwe lihlukaniswe izifundazwe eziyi-9 nezifunda ezingama-68. Amagama ezifundazwe: Luapula, North, Northwest, Copper Belt, Central, East, West, South, Lusaka.

Cishe ngekhulu le-16, ezinye izizwe zomndeni wolimi lwesiBantu zaqala ukuhlala kule ndawo. Kusukela ngekhulu le-16 kuya kwele-19 leminyaka, kwasungulwa imibuso yaseRonda, iKaloro neBaroz kuleyo ndawo. Ekupheleni kwekhulu le-18, abakoloni abangamaPutukezi nabaseBrithani bahlasela ngokulandelana. Ngo-1911, amakholoni aseBrithani aqamba le ndawo ngokuthi "Umhlaba Ovikelwe WaseNyakatho Rhodesia" futhi ayengaphansi kwegunya le "British South Africa Company". Ngo-1924, iBrithani yathumela umbusi ukuba aqondise umthetho. NgoSepthemba 3, 1953, i-United Kingdom yahlanganisa ngenkani iSouthern Rhodesia, Northern Rhodesia, neNyasaland (manje eyaziwa njengeMalawi) yaba yi "Central African Federation". Ngenxa yokuphikisana kwabantu bala mazwe amathathu, i- "Central African Federation" yahlakazwa ngoDisemba 1963. NgoJanuwari 1964, iNyakatho Rhodesia yaqalisa ukuzimela ngaphakathi.I-United National Independence Party yasungula "uzibuse wangaphakathi". Ngo-Okthoba 24 ngawo lowo nyaka, yamemezela inkululeko yayo yaqamba neRiphabhulikhi yaseZambia, kepha yahlala kwiCommonwealth, eKaun. Daren President. Ngo-Agasti 1973, kwaphasiswa umthethosisekelo omusha, omemezela ukungena kukaZan eRepublic Republic.

Ifulegi likazwelonke: Lingunxande ngesilinganiso sobude nobubanzi obungu-3: 2. Ubuso befulegi buluhlaza okotshani. Unxande omile ngezansi kwesokudla wakhiwe yimichilo emithathu eqondile nebonisa mpo ebomvu, emnyama, ne-orenji. Ngaphezulu kukho ukhozi olunamaphiko avulekile. Okuhlaza kukhombisa imithombo yezemvelo yezwe, okubomvu kufanekisela umzabalazo wenkululeko, abamnyama bamele abaseZambia, kanti i-olintshi lifanekisela amadiphozi ezwe. Ukhozi olundizayo lufanekisela inkululeko neZambia yenkululeko.

IZambia inabantu abayizigidi eziyi-10.55 (2005). Iningi labo lingezilimi zabamnyama zeBantu. Kunezinhlanga ezingama-73. Ulimi olusemthethweni yisiNgisi, futhi kunezilimi ezingama-31 zezwe. Phakathi kwabo, ama-30% akholelwa ebuKristwini nakumaKhatholika, futhi iningi lezakhamizi zasemakhaya likholelwa ezinkolweni zokuqala.

IZambia icebile ngemithombo yemvelo, ikakhulukazi ithusi, inezinqolobane zethusi ezingaphezulu kwamathani ayizigidi ezingama-900. Ingumkhiqizi wesine ngobhedu emhlabeni futhi yaziwa ngokuthi "izwe lezimayini zethusi." Ngaphandle kwethusi, kukhona namaminerali afana ne-cobalt, lead, cadmium, nickel, iron, gold, silver, zinc, tin, uranium, emeralds, amakristalu, i-vanadium, i-graphite, ne-mica. Phakathi kwazo, i-cobalt, njengenhlangano yamaminerali ehambisana nayo, inenqolobane engaba ngamathani angama-350,000, ibeka endaweni yesibili emhlabeni. IZambia inemifula eminingi nezinsizakusebenza zamandla kagesi amaningi. Amandla kagesi enza u-99% wokuphehlwa kwamandla ezweni lonke. Izinga lokutholakala kwamahlathi kuzwelonke lingama-45%.

Izimayini, ezolimo kanye nezokuvakasha yizinsika ezintathu zomnotho waseZambia. Umzimba omkhulu wemboni yezimayini ukumba ithusi ne-cobalt ore nokuncibilikisa ithusi ne-cobalt. Ithusi lisesikhundleni esibalulekile emnothweni waseZambia, kanti u-80% wemali engenayo yezwe langaphandle itholakala ngokuthumela ithusi emazweni angaphandle. Inani lokukhishwa kwezolimo lenza cishe u-15.3% we-GDP yaseZambia, kanti inani lezolimo lisebenza cishe uhhafu wabantu bonke.

IZambia inezinsizakusebenza zokuvakasha ezicebile. Umfula iZambezi, umfula wesine ngobukhulu e-Afrika, ugeleza amakota amathathu eZambia.Yakha i-Victoria Falls edume umhlaba wonke ekuhlanganeni kweZambia neZimbabwe.Iheha izivakashi ezivela kuwo wonke umhlaba minyaka yonke. IZambia nayo inamapaki kazwelonke angama-19 nezindawo zokuphatha ukuzingela ezingama-32.
