Congo is situated in Western Africa in between Angola and Gabon, and gained independence from the French in 1960. Before Congo became a republic, the country experienced a phase of government characterized by Marxism, which ended in 1990. However, Congo now has established a three-branch government, including legislative, executive, and judicial bodies. Congo has a population of roughly 4,125,916 individuals who are unfortunately susceptible to a slew of diseases such as aids and malaria. Currently, CIA world fact book estimates that a total of 79,000 adults are living with HIV or aids. The life expectancy of the Congolese people is approximately 54.54 years (males at 53.27 years and females, 55.85 years), which is seemingly short for a modern day society. The national language is French, however, the Congolese also speak Lingala and Monokatuba as well as Kikongo. And the largest religion is Christian, followed by animist and then Muslim. Congo also has a voluntary military, in which men and women ages 18 through 49 can decide to serve.
