Malta comprises an archipelago of seven islands in the Mediterranean Sea.

Roman Catholicism is the most practised religion.

The islands constituting the Maltese nation have been ruled by various powers and fought over for centuries.

Malta has been a member state of the European Union (EU) since 2004 and it is currently the smallest EU country both in population and in area.
