CYPRUS

Cyprus, officially the Republic of Cyprus, is an EU country located in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Cyprus is the easternmost country in the European Union and is closer geographically to Turkey, Syria, and Lebanon than it is to any other country in the EU. Cyprus' economy depends on tourism, agriculture and light manufacturing. Like most EU countries, it has a "very high" score on the HDI (Human Development Index) and is generally prosperous, with a 2019 per capita GDP of $28,888. It is part of the Eurozone and the EU Single Market. The capital city is Nicosia.

The Republic of Cyprus has de jure sovereignty over the entire island of Cyprus, including its territorial waters and exclusive economic zone, with the exception of the UK base area of Akrotiri and Dhekelia. However, the Republic of Cyprus is de facto partitioned into two main parts: the largely Greek speaking area under the effective control of the Republic, located in the south and west, and the north, administered by the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (covering about 36% of the island's area). Another nearly 4% of the island's area is covered by the UN buffer zone. The international community considers the northern part of the island to be territory of the Republic of Cyprus occupied by Turkish forces. The occupation is viewed as illegal under international law and amounting to illegal occupation of EU territory since Cyprus became a member of the European Union.
