Morocco is a cultural hotbed located in North Africa. Their close relation to Africa, the middle east, and the Iberian peninsula makes the country rich with culture and diverse with cuisine. The population is mainly made up of Arab and Berber people, of which 98 percent are Muslim. They are a relatively conservative community. The country is relative in size to the state of California.

Researching this subject provided little in the way of good information. About the most interesting thing that I did find was the story of Fouad Mortada. He's a 26 year old and was jailed for having a fake facebook page where he claimed to be Prince Moulay Rachidthe.
