Welcome, country #204:
On the racy side, Florence Banda, recently crowned Miss True African Beauty, might lose her title because of an indiscretion, colorfully detailed in The Nyasa Times. Then there are those stories about the pastor, witchcraft and even in politics.
This is Madonna's country, where she adopted David Banda (in blue below, and nope, not related to the others) and Mercy. Plans are to build ten schools. But Joyce Banda, the President, is not pleased. And, no, she is not related to Florence. In fact none of these four (first president was Hastings Banda) are related.

| Background | |
| Established in 1891, the British protectorate of Nyasaland became the independent nation of Malawi in 1964. After three decades of one-party rule under President Hastings Kamuzu BANDA the country held multiparty elections in 1994, under a provisional constitution that came into full effect the following year. Current President Bingu wa MUTHARIKA, elected in May 2004 after a failed attempt by the previous president to amend the constitution to permit another term, struggled to assert his authority against his predecessor and subsequently started his own party, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in 2005. As president, MUTHARIKA has overseen some economic improvement. Population growth, increasing pressure on agricultural lands, corruption, and the spread of HIV/AIDS pose major problems for Malawi. MUTHARIKA was reelected to a second term in May 2009. |

It's generally safe to visit Malawi, but there is some indiscriminate terrorism, muggings and the like.
