My country is the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka. It is an island. It is located in the Indian ocean and is a developing country.
The capital city of Sri Lanka is Sri Jayewardenepura, Kotte. There are nine provinces and 25 districts. Sri Lanka is a multi-ethnic country. There are Sinhala, Tamil ,Muslim and Burghers communities. They practise Buddhism, Hinduism , Islam and Christianity as religions. The official language of my country is Sinhala. The currency is the Sri Lankan rupee. Sri Lanka exports coconut, tea, rubber, garments and spices.
Sri Lanka has different climatic conditions. There are rain forests, natural reserves; and environmental hot spots. Many tourists visit Sri Lanka to see its natural beauty. There are waterfalls, rivers, mountains, and a large number of tanks. There are many religious places connected to Buddhism such as the Ruwanweliseya, Temple of the Tooth, the Kelaniya temple and other historical and religious ruins.
The people do farming, business, construction and government jobs. They live happily. I wish my country to be prosperous.
