The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Liberia:

Liberia – a country in West Africa, bordered by Sierra Leone, Guinea, Côte d'Ivoire, and the Atlantic Ocean.{{cite web|date=July 3, 2009|url=https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/liberia/|title=Liberia|work=The World Factbook|publisher=United States Central Intelligence Agency|access-date=July 23, 2009}} Liberia has a hot equatorial climate with most rainfall arriving in summer with harsh harmattan winds in the dry season. Liberia's populated Pepper Coast is composed of mostly mangrove forests while the sparse inland is forested, later opening to a plateau of drier grasslands. Since 1989, Liberia has been in a state of flux witnessing two civil wars, the First Liberian Civil War (1989–1996), and the Second Liberian Civil War (1999–2003), displacing hundreds of thousands of people and devastating the country's economy.
