In this article the author examines social and political conditions in Timor-Leste, also known as East Timor, current during 2010. The article notes that Timor-Leste continues to stabilize following the nation-wide crisis of 2006-08. A number of topics are addressed including the significant natural resources found in the country, the strong economic growth, and the lack of violence during 2010. Forecasts suggest that Timor-Leste will undergo a period of economic expansion between 2010 and 2020 greater than that of China.
