The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Timor-Leste:

Timor-Leste (formerly East Timor) – sovereign island nation located in Southeast Asia.[1] Timor-Leste comprises the eastern half of the Island of Timor, the nearby islands of Atauro and Jaco, and Oecussi-Ambeno, an exclave on the northwestern side of the island, within Indonesian West Timor. The small country of 15,410 km2[2] (5,400 sq mi) is located about 640 km (400 mi) northwest of Darwin, Australia.

Timor-Leste was colonized by Portugal in the 16th century, and was known as Portuguese Timor until Portugal's decolonization of the country. In late 1975 East Timor declared its independence but was invaded and occupied by Indonesia later that year, and declared that country's 27th province the following year. In 1999, following the United Nations-sponsored act of self-determination, Indonesia relinquished control of the territory and Timor-Leste became the first new sovereign state of the twenty-first century on May 20, 2002. Timor-Leste is one of only two predominantly Roman Catholic countries in Southeast Asia, the other being the Philippines.

At US$2,500,[1] the per capita GDP (purchasing power parity adjusted) of Timor-Leste is one of the lowest in the world. Its Human Development Index (HDI), however, corresponds to a medium degree of human development and places Timor-Leste 142nd among the world's states.
