Hi. I am in need of some assistance gathering information on Somalia. Would you mind helping me? 
 I'd love to help. Somalia is a country in Africa. It used to be known as the Somali Democratic Republic. It is shaped like the number seven. 
 Wow, I did not know that about its shape? What else can you tell me about its geography? 
 Yeah, it's pretty neat! It is a country in the Horn of Africa and is bordered by Djibouti to the northwest, Kenya to the southwest, the Gulf of Eden with Yemen to the north, the Guardafui Channel and the Somali Sea to the east, and Ethiopia to the west. 
 Thank you so much. That is so helpful. Do you know what the terrain is like? 
 I don't have information on that, my apologies. I can tell you, however, the the religion of Islam entered the region very early on, as a group of persecuted Muslims sought refuge across the Red Sea in the Horn of Africa. 
 Would you mind if we started discussing the economy? 
 Not at all! A survey of the horn of Africa by the World Bank and the UN ranked Somalia second only to Sudan as the top prospective producer. 
 That's exciting. What products are driving the economy there? 
 The have a healthy economy based mainly on livestock, remittance/money transfer companies, and telecommunications. 
 Thank you so much. That was entirely helpful. 
 It was my pleasure!
