Equatorial Guinea is a small country located on the west coast of Central Africa, bordered by Cameroon to the north and Gabon to the east and south. It is the only sovereign African state in which Spanish is an official language. The country gained independence from Spain in 1968 and has a history of authoritarian rule. Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, the President of Equatorial Guinea, has been in power since 1979 and has been accused of widespread corruption and human rights abuses.

The economy of Equatorial Guinea is largely dependent on oil and natural gas production, which accounts for the majority of its GDP and exports. The country is a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and has large oil reserves. However, the country has faced criticism for its lack of transparency in the management of its oil wealth, and many citizens have not seen the benefits of the country's economic growth.

Equatorial Guinea has a small population of around 1.3 million people and is ethnically diverse, with a mix of Bantu and Pygmy groups. The country has a relatively high standard of living compared to other countries in the region, but there are still significant disparities between the wealthy elite and the majority of the population.

In terms of foreign relations, Equatorial Guinea has strong ties to Spain, its former colonizer, as well as to other countries in the region, such as Cameroon and Gabon. It has also sought to improve relations with the United States and other Western countries in recent years, in part through its membership in OPEC. However, the country's human rights record and lack of transparency in its governance has led to criticism and strained relations with some Western countries.
