    Type: Afghanistan identifies itself as an "Islamic state."
    Independence: August 19, 1919 (from U.K. control over Afghan foreign affairs).
    Organization: At a UN-sponsored conference held in Bonn, Germany in early December , 2001, agreement was reached between Afghan political factions to create an interim government and establish a process to move toward a permanent government. The Interim Authority was installed on December 22, 2001 with Hamid Karzai as Chairman. The Interim Authority held power for approximately 6 months while preparing for a nationwide “Loya Jirga” (Grand Council) in mid-June 2002 that decided on the structure of a Transitional Authority. The Transitional Authority has an 18-24-month mandate to draft a new constitution, scheduled to be presented to a Loya Jirga in December, 2003, and prepare for nationwide elections in June, 2004.
