Libya History

although in ancient Greece the term had a broader meaning

encompassing all of North Africa west of Egypt. Later on

at the time of Ibn Khaldun

the same big tribe was known as Lawata."""

Libya has the fifth highest GDP per capita of Africa, behind Botswana, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and Seychelles. This is largely due to its large petroleum reserves and low population.

The Libyan flag is the only national flag in the world with just one color - green - and no design, insignia, or other details.
