Answer:
Zimbabwe
Southern Rhodesia ceased to be a British colony in 1965, when it declared its independence, but there were 15 years of great turmoil until April 18, 1980, when a peace treaty was signed and the country became part of the Commonwealth of Nations as the Republic of Zimbabwe. Its capital, Harare, formerly known as Salisbury, is the largest and most important city in the country.
Zimbabwe is a landlocked country bordered by Mozambique, Botswana and South Africa, located between the Zambesi and Limpopo rivers. The economy is based on mining and agriculture. Zimbabwe was expelled from the Commonwealth in 2003 for human rights violations.
