Basques live in southwestern Europe straddling the French-Spanish border. There are four traditional regions (Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa, Nafarroa, Araba) on the Spanish side and three (Lapurdi, Behe-Nafarroa, and Zuberoa) on the French side.  While the seven regions have not been unified for nearly a millennium, the Basques remain one of Europe's most distinctive ethnic groups. Until recently the Basque homestead was a mixed-farming enterprise which emphasized self-sufficiency. Now the Basque country is one of Iberia's most industrialized regions and only a minority of the population is engaged in agriculture, which has become increasingly industrialized.
