Country, Plot of Land, or Territory?
If you look at any map, Western Sahara appears to be a country. Is it really a country though?
The country is administered by Morocco with the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic claiming it as its own, but Morocco runs a large part of it. Spain gave up its claim to it in the 1970’s.
A few of us debated this time and time again. It is a very sparsely populated place with only about 600000 inhabitants. It appears to look like something out of a futuristic apocalyptic movie like Mad Max with endless sand, trash, and a few littered shanty towns.
The coastline is very beautiful in this country, however with high cliffs and no real beaches, it will never attract any tourists. With not a lot of infrastructure we bush camped all of the nights here next to high sand dunes, where the wood was scarce and we had to watch what we burned.
