Detailed Map of Morocco |  Flag of Morocco

The Kingdom of Morocco is located in the northwest corner of Africa. It is made up of fertile coastal areas, the barren Atlas Mountains inland, and the Sahara Desert. Agriculture,
tourism, and phosphate mining are important industries.

Formerly a French and a Spanish protectorate, Morocco became an independent kingdom in 1956. Its government is a limited democracy with an executive monarchy.

Islam, the state religion, was brought by invading Arab armies in the seventh century, and the government is committed to it's preservation as the religion of all Moroccans. Though other religious groups are tolerated, persecution and intimidation has steadily increased since 1968.
80% of the population has never had contact with the gospel.
