East Timor is a small, predominantly Catholic country located in Southeast Asia. It gained independence from Indonesia in 2002, after a long and violent struggle for self-determination. The country is located on the eastern end of the island of Timor, which it shares with the Indonesian province of West Timor.

East Timor has a population of around 1.3 million people and is one of the poorest countries in Asia. It has a tropical climate and a mostly mountainous terrain, with a narrow coastal plain. The economy is based largely on agriculture, with coffee being a major export crop.

The country has also developed closer relations with its neighbors, including Indonesia and Australia, and has become a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
