The Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya (Arabic: الجماهيرية العربية الليبية الشعبية الاشتراكية‎, al-Jamāhīrīyah al-'Arabīyah al-Lībīyah ash-Sha'bīyah al-Ishtirākīyah), commonly referred to as Libya (Arabic ليبيا Lībiyā) is a country in the Maghreb region of North Africa. It borders the countries of Algeria and Tunisia to the west and northwest respectively; Egypt to the east; Chad to the south; and Niger to the southwest. To the north, Libya has a coastline of around 1,770 kilometres along the Mediterranean Sea. The Libyan population consists of around 8.3 million people, of whom 95% are Arab in descent. The majority of the country practices Sunni Islam, with around 90% of the population adhering to it. There are also significant religious minorities, most notably the Copts and Roman Catholics. The vast majority of Libyans live along the coastline, with around a quarter of them living in the capital Tripoli. Other significant cities are Benghazi and Misrata. Libya has historically been divided into three historical regions, Tripolitania in the north west, Fezzan in the south west and Cyrenaica in the east.
