Togo, Republic in West Africa.
The nation stretches from the Gulf of Guinea northward through five distinct regions, with landscapes transitioning from coastal plains to northern savannas.
French Togoland gained independence in 1960, establishing Lomé as the capital and implementing a multi-party democratic system after three decades.
More than 30 ethnic groups maintain their traditions, with French as the official language while Ewe and Kabiyé serve as national languages.
The national currency is the West African CFA franc, and the economy relies on phosphate mining, agricultural exports, and maritime trade through Port of Lomé.
The Fazao-Malfakassa National Park contains elephants, antelope species, and buffalo across 2,000 square kilometers of protected mountainous terrain.
