Morocco

Morocco  Located in Africa in the area named the "Maghrib" which straddles the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Mediterranean Sea to the east.

Morocco has a narrow 13km or 8-mile gap between them and Spain, known as the strait of Gibraltar. That is not the nearest Morocco is to Spain as that is the second closest, the closest Spain is to Morocco is actually at the town of Tarifa.

They are bordered by Algeria in the east.

There are 12 different areas and the capital Rabat is located along the west Atlantic coast.
Now it gets a little confusing, they were once a French protectorate and was colonised by the Spanish (they are neighbours so that makes sense). There was a war between Morocco, Polisario (S.A.D.R) and Maurataina about land disputes, and eventually, Maurataintia stepped down since Morocco kept fighting.
So currently Morocco and Polisario sorta split the area in two, Morocco got the shores and the off-shore oil banks, while Polisario got most of the islands. About 1/5 of the population live in the S.A.D.R area, while 40% of the population live in the Laayoune area, around the middle you see a sand berm which is a militarily made wall which separates the S.A.D.R from Morocco. 
Getting into the western Sahara is difficult as you can pretty much only get access through Morocco, but you might get stopped by the military, and getting through the S.A.D.R. is near impossible to any outsiders.

If you go up from the Mediterranean you will encounter the"plazas de soberanía" which are like the last pieces of the Spanish empire in Northern Africa, the legality of these areas belonging to Spain is important as Morrocoo was founded after these areas were controlled by the Spanish were made.

The two largest entities are Ceuta close to Spain in the west with a population of 82,000, and Melia which has their own airport with a population of 80,000.
Along with the three Alhucemas Islands, the three Chafrinas Islands, and Penon de Velez which is a small military outpost with an entrance connected using a isthmus about 85 meters wide being the smallest international land border.
There are also two more islands under disputed territory, Isla Perejil, Nube island and Isla de Alboran.

The busiest airport is Muhammad the V International, and the second and third are Marakesh and Agadir.\

Morocco has lots of natural resources, 18% of the land is arable and 12% is forested, the biodiversity is also very suitable as many are endemic, like gazelles, boars, fennec foxes, over ninety species of reptiles and macaque monkeys, and yes, goats do climb trees here. Mostly in the town of Tamri, due to illegal trade and poaching fennec foxes and macaque monkeys are disappearing including the national animal the Barbary Lion, the last one was seen in 1922.

With a population of 36 million people, it is the highest Burbur and Amazigh population in Africa, and possibly worldwide. Around 40-80% of the population has either Burubr or Amazigh ancestry with the 19% being non-Burbur or Amazigh, with some French, Spanish, and Africans.

The Moroccan Dirham is their currency and the type C and E plug outlets and they drive on the right side of the road.

So, what are Burburs or Amazighs, well they are the indigenous semi-nomadic peoples who have lived in regions of North Africa before the Arabs came in, they are completely different from Arabs, in clothing, arts, traditions, and language which is different from Arabs.
Now the Burbur/Amazigh language is an official language along with Arabic in Morocco and Algeria, written in either Latin or Neo-Tifinagh script, most Moroccans are trilingual, growing up with Arabic, Burbur or Amazigh, and most of the time a European language, most commonly French.

They have a very colourful background most influenced by the Burbur or Amazigh's, bu there are many types of Burburs and Amazigh, and tribes.
Before Islam, most Burbur and Amazigh were Animus and practised things like ancestor veneration, face tattoos were common among women each image meaning something important, but around the 1940s, the practice started dying out.

The national dress for both men and women is a garment named Djellaba, which is meant to keep the wearer warm and protected from the harsh sun.

The architecture is interesting as they have a very high-walled style of building named "Dar" to ward off thieves and animals and to minimalizing heat.
