Macao (also spelt as Macau) is a Special Administrative Region (S.A.R.) of China, existing under the one country, two systems principle since its handover from Portugal in December 1999. The official languages are Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin) and Portuguese, though English is widely spoken throughout the city and government institutions, and is becoming increasingly prevalent. The majority of the population speaks Cantonese as a first language, though the recent influx of immigrants and workers from Mainland China has amplified the usage of Mandarin Chinese in schools and in everyday life. Macao is famous as a resort city, with world-renowned gambling and casino offerings, making tourism and retail the largest parts of its economy and international image. In terms of socioeconomics, Macao boasts one of the highest GDP per capita figures in the world, and its local population enjoys relative prosperity, stability, and autonomy.
