The Democratic Republic of Algeria is my home country. Have you been? 
Honestly know but i'm really excited to know more about that beautiful country from you
It's semi-presidential republic consisting of 48 provinces and 1,541 communes 
It seems the country is not too big. only 1541 communes, really?
That means (counties) in my language. We have had the same president since 1999
it seems, you people are not truly democratic yet
Not really we are a regional and middle power but hope to be more. 
Ok, that's nice. How modern is your capital city ?
It;s been around a minute, capital and most populous city is Algiers, it's located in the far north of the country.
