Equatorial Guinea

Equatorial Guinea is a small country located in Central Africa, consisting of a mainland region and five islands. Its capital city is Malabo, and its official languages are Spanish, French, and Portuguese. The country has a population of approximately 1.5 million people.

The economy of Equatorial Guinea is largely dependent on the production and export of oil and gas. It is one of the wealthiest countries in Africa in terms of GDP per capita, but income distribution is highly unequal, and the majority of the population lives in poverty. The country has a mixed record on human rights, with concerns regarding freedom of speech and political opposition.

Equatorial Guinea is known for its unique wildlife and biodiversity, with a range of endemic species, such as the Bioko colobus and the Bioko Island snake. The country also has a rich cultural heritage, with a blend of African and European influences. Its music and dance traditions, such as the balélé and fang acoho, are particularly notable.
