The country is a predominantly [[Muslim]] nation, though with a large Christian minority at 35%. Unlike most African nations, Sierra Leone has no serious ethnic and religious divisions. People often marry across tribal and religious boundaries.
Sierra Leone is very rich in [[mineral resources]], possessing most of the known mineral types of the world, many of which are found in significant quantities. The country has relied on [[mining]], especially diamonds, for its economic base; it is among the top 10 diamond producing nations in the world, and mineral exports remain the main foreign currency earner. Sierra Leone is also among the largest producers of [[titanium]] and [[bauxite]], and a major producer of [[gold]]. The country has one of the world's largest deposits of [[rutile]]. Despite this natural wealth, the vast majority of its people live in poverty.
Early inhabitants of Sierra Leone included the [[Sherbro people|Sherbro]], [[Temne people|Temne]] and [[Limba people (Sierra Leone)|Limba]], and [[Tyra]]{{dn}} peoples, and later the [[Mende people|Mende]],<ref name="Precolonial tribes">Kup (1961), p. 116</ref> who knew the country as Romarong, and the [[Kono people|Kono]] who settled in the east of the country.<ref name="Sierra Leone2">{{cite web| url=http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/Sierra_Leone| title=Sierra Leone| author=Classic Encyclopedia| accessdate=19 February 2008}}</ref> In 1462, it was visited by the Portuguese explorer [[Pedro da Cintra]], who dubbed it Serra de Leão, meaning "Lion Mountains".<ref name="Placenames of the World">Room (1995), p. 346-7</ref><ref name="ReferenceA">Kingfisher Geography encyclopedia.
