Hello I'm writing a new novel and was hoping to base it in Somalia, but i need to know some facts first can you help me? 
 Sure. Somalia officially called the Republic of Somalia, is a country in Africa. It is shaped like the number seven and is a country in the Horn of Africa. 
 What can you tell me about the geography? 
 The Federal Parliament is tasked with selecting the ultimate number and boundaries of autonomous regional states officially Federal Member states within the Federal Republic of Somalia. 
 What else can you tell me? 
 I don't have any more on the geography sorry, but I can tell you that the constitution of Somalia likewise defines Islam as the state religion of the Federal Republic of Somalia and Islamic sharia law as the basic source for national legislation. 
 that is so interesting.....What can you tell me of the Politics and government? 
 Somalia's foreign relations are handled by the President as the head of state, the Prime Minister as the head of government, and the federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 
 Do you have any other facts? 
 The Somalia diaspora is deeply involved in the politics and development of Somalia. The Federal Government maintains bilateral relations with a number of other central governments in the international community. 
 Thank you so much you have been so very helpful. I appreciate that. 
 You are more than welcome. I am glad that I could be of some help.
