The United Republic of Tanzania (pron-en?t�nz??ni??; lang-swJamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania) is a nation in central East Africa bordered by Kenya and Uganda to the north, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west, and Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique to the south. The countrys eastern borders lie on the Indian Ocean.
The United Republic of Tanzania is a unitary republic (unitary state) composed of 26 mikoa (regions). The current head of state is President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, elected in 2005. Since 1996, the official capital of Tanzania has been Dodoma, where parliament and some government offices are located. Between independence and 1996 the major coastal city of Dar es Salaam had been the countrys political capital. Today Dar es Salaam remains the principal commercial city of Tanzania and the de-facto seat of most government institutions.cite weburl=title=The Tanzania National Website: Country Profile publisher=Tanzania.go.tz date= accessdate=2010-05-01 It is the major seaport for the country and its landlocked neighbours.
