Bangladesh is a small but densely populated country in South Asia with a population of over 145 million. It gained independence from Pakistan in 1971 and is a democratic country led by a prime minister. The flag was changed after independence to represent the liberation. The majority religion is Islam but there are also Hindu, Christian, and Buddhist minorities. The cuisine is similar to neighboring Indian styles but cooked and served differently. Unique foods include jackfruit, which is the national fruit. Jute and tea are important exports, with jute historically being the main crop and tea grown in hill regions. The national animal is the Royal Bengal tiger and national fish is hilsa.
