It is one of Tunisia's 24 governates. The area is famous for its Ksour (abandoned Berber settlements) including the picturesque Ksar Ouled Sultane, Chenini and Douiret. These settlements feature beautiful ghorfa (granaries). June 27, 1931 a meteorite of the rare achondrite type impacted at Tataouine, about 12 kg of fragments were found. The mineral of this meteorite was named Diogenite. Tataouine's name became famous when George Lucas, who filmed the original Star Wars film in various locations of Tunisia (for example, the [Lars Homstead], filmed at the Hotel Sidi Driss in Matmata), named Luke Skywalker's fictional home planet Tatooine. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) Following independence from France in 1956, President Habib BOURGUIBA established a strict one-party state. He dominated the country for 31 years, repressing Islamic fundamentalism and establishing rights for women unmatched by any other Arab nation. In recent years, Tunisia has taken a moderate, non-aligned stance in its foreign relations. Domestically, it has sought to defuse rising pressure for a more open political society..
