Equatorial Guinea, Country in Central Africa

The territory of Equatorial Guinea consists of a mainland region bordered by Cameroon and Gabon, plus the islands of Bioko and Annobon.

From 1777 under Spanish colonial rule until independence in 1968, this nation underwent multiple transformations through Portuguese and Spanish territorial exchanges.

The country maintains Spanish, French, and Portuguese as official languages while the Fang ethnic group forms the largest portion of the population.

The capital city moved from Malabo on Bioko Island to the mainland city of Ciudad de la Paz, reflecting governmental changes in infrastructure development.

The discovery of petroleum reserves in the 1990s transformed Equatorial Guinea into one of the largest oil producers in sub-Saharan Africa.
