LS — Lesotho

Lesotho is a unique landlocked country entirely surrounded by South Africa, making it one of only three enclave countries in the world. Known as the 'Kingdom in the Sky,' its lowest point is the highest of any country on Earth at 1,400 meters. Maseru, the capital, sits on the Caledon River bordering South Africa. The Lesotho Loti (LSL) is pegged at par with the South African Rand, and both currencies circulate freely. For developers, the LS country code maps to en-LS and st-LS locales for English and Sesotho. The .ls domain and +266 calling code serve Lesotho's digital infrastructure. Like Eswatini, the dual-currency system with the South African Rand requires special handling in payment applications. Lesotho's geographic situation — entirely within another country — makes it an interesting case for geolocation services and border-related logic in applications.
