It is amongst the top ten richest African countries based on GDP. Also, the third largest producer of phosphate after United States and China. Its labour force is primarily in the service sector, agriculture and industries. Its currency Dirham is strong at $1 – 9.97 Dirham.

Politics:

The political system of Morocco is parliamentary constitutional monarchy. The country has a king and a prime minister who is elected. Currently, it is ruled by King Mohammed VI and Abdelilah Benkirane (the prime minister). The king has the power to appoint and remove a prime minister.

Morocco is a great example of how people of all different backgrounds and ideologies can live in harmony. It consists of Arabs, Berbers, and Jews, the South hosts  British, French, and American expatriates working for the government as teachers, technicians, and business managers.
