Angola
A resource-rich nation on the Atlantic coast of southern Africa, Angola emerged from a devastating 27-year civil war in 2002 to become one of Africa's largest oil producers. The capital Luanda is one of the most expensive cities in the world for expatriates. The country's diverse landscapes range from tropical rainforests to the Namib Desert.
