Lusaka has become something of a boom town of late. New buildings are going up everywhere and many chain stores and shopping malls are springing up all over the sprawling suburbs.
Zambia is officially a Christian nation according to the 1996 constitution, but a wide variety of religious traditions exist.
Zambia is divided into ten provinces, each administered by an appointed deputy minister. Each province is divided into several districts with a grand total of 89 districts.
