Tanzania is an East African presidential republic of roughly 67 million people with a GDP near 85 billion USD, formed as the 1964 union of mainland Tanganyika and the Zanzibar archipelago, which retains a semi-autonomous government, parliament and president within the union. The entire country observes East Africa Time (Africa/Dar_es_Salaam, UTC+3) year-round with no DST, sharing the same offset as Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia. President Samia Suluhu Hassan, who took office in March 2021 after the death of John Magufuli, is the country's first woman head of state and has overseen a partial reopening to foreign investment and diplomacy. The Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE) lists domestic and cross-listed equities, while gold (Tanzania ranks around fourth in Africa), critical-mineral and natural-gas finds, the Standard Gauge Railway build-out and tourism anchored by the Serengeti, Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar drive the external economy.
