Sierra Leone (country), independent nation in western Africa, bounded on the north and east by Guinea, on the southeast by Liberia, and on the southwest and west by the Atlantic Ocean. The total area of the country is 71,740 sq km (27,699 sq mi). Freetown is the capital and largest city. The estimated population of Sierra Leone in 2000 was 5,509,263, yielding an overall population density of 77 persons per sq km (199 per sq mi). Freetown, the capital, is the largest city. Other major towns include Kenema and Bo, both in the southern interior. The population is composed predominantly of black Africans belonging to nearly 20 different ethnic groups. The largest groups are the Mende in the south and the Temne in the north. Creoles (also known in Sierra Leone as Krios) are descendants of freed slaves returned from the Americas. They form an important minority in the Freetown area, where small numbers of Lebanese, Indians, and Europeans also reside. Some 65 percent of the population lives in rural areas, many of them in the more than 29,000 settlements that include isolated, temporary homesteads.
