Morocco or since 1957, in long form the Kingdom of Morocco, formerly the Sherifian Empire, is a regionalized unitary state located in North Africa. His political regime is a constitutional monarchy. Its capital is Rabat and its largest city Casablanca.

Geographically, it is particularly characterized by mountainous or desert areas and is one of the only countries - with Spain and France - to feature shores on the Mediterranean Sea on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other . Its population is nearly 34 million (2014 census) and its area of 446,550 km218 (47.51 inhab./km²), or 710,850 km2 including Western Sahara - formerly "Spanish Sahara" , considered a non-autonomous territory by the United Nations Organization2 - of which it administers de facto about 80% and which it claims in its totality, just like the Polisario Front. Its culture is Berber-Arab for several centuries, and has spread mainly in the Maghreb and southern Spain. Moroccans are mainly Muslim.

With a presence of hominids dating back around 700,000 years and inhabited since prehistoric times by Berber populations, the Moroccan state, as a distinct entity, was founded in 789 by Idris I.

In addition, it is part of the United Nations, the Arab League, the African Union19, the Arab Maghreb Union, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the International Organization of La Francophone, the Group of 77, the Union for the Mediterranean and candidate for accession to ECOWAS.

The Moroccan constitution defines Islam, Arabity and Amazighness as "fundamental components" of the identity of the Moroccan people and the country as the land of Islam. Islam is the religion of the State, which guarantees to all the free exercise of the cults.
