| Abstract: | Malta consists of an archipelago of three main inhabited islands and a few smaller uninhabited ones. Malta, Gozo and Comino have a total area of 1,282 sq.km, accommodating a population of just over 400,000, collectively termed Malta. This makes it the 6th densest country in the world and 11 times greater than the EU average. As one entity, Malta, following its independence from the United Kingdom in 1964, and becoming a democratic republic in 1974, joined the European Union in 2004. It is concurrently part of the Commonwealth of Nations and the United Nations. It is an independent Island-State and has had its own self-government since 1964. Malta has a prosperous free market economy; it has adopted the Euro as its national currency, since 2008. |
