Ivory Coast, officially République of Côte d'Ivoire, is a country in West Africa. It was one of the most prosperous tropical countries in West Africa; however, but because of political corruptions, coupled with the lack of reform, the country has experienced frequent domestic unrests and civil wars, resulting in economic devastated. Non-Africans accounted for 4% of the Ivoirian population, mostly French, British and Spanish citizens, as well as Protestant missionaries from the United States and Canada. Chinese accounted for a very small part of the population of the country.
The national emblem of République of Côte d'Ivoire has an image of white elephant, in addition to the name of the country, makes people feel the country produces mainly ivory. In fact, the economy supplies mainly agricultural products, particularly cocoa and coffee.
