Chad is governed under the constitution of 1996 as amended. Chad's population is heavily biased towards the young, with almost 50% of the population being under the age of 15. The main religion is Islam, making up 53.1% of the population. The next highest religion is Catholicism with 20.1%. The official languages are French and Arabic. Chad's economy suffers because of its landlocked position and geographic remoteness.
