Dodoma the capital, the Tanzanian Shilling, and Kiswahili and English: the standing facts of Tanzania

Background

The World Bank growth figures and the inflation reading elsewhere in today's country section both belong to this country frame.
The East African Community records Tanzania's capital as Dodoma and its area as 945,090 sq km.
The currency is the Tanzanian Shilling, written Tsh.
Kiswahili and English are the official languages.
Tanzania is listed as a Founding Member of the East African Community, having joined in July 2000.
Dar es Salaam, not Dodoma, is the country's largest city and commercial centre, which is why international releases on Tanzania usually carry a Dar es Salaam dateline.
