The map shows in purple the selected country (Guinea-Bissau), and represents in a green scale its closest relations, and in a red scale its strained relations.
Guinea-Bissau is a small, coastal West African country with a population of about 2 million people. It gained independence from Portugal in 1974, but has since experienced a series of coups, military dictatorships, and unstable democratic governments.
The country has a tropical climate and is heavily reliant on agriculture, particularly the production of cashews, which is its main export. However, Guinea-Bissau has a low gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and is considered one of the poorest countries in the world.
Guinea-Bissau has a history of political instability and corruption, and its government has often been criticized for mismanagement and lack of transparency. The country has faced numerous coups and attempted coups, and its political landscape has been marked by infighting and rivalries.
Despite these challenges, Guinea-Bissau has made some progress in recent years. It has held several successful elections and has made efforts to improve its economy and infrastructure. The country has also received international aid and support from organizations such as the United Nations and the African Union.
In terms of foreign relations, Guinea-Bissau has generally good relations with its neighbors and with the international community. However, the country has faced criticism for its role as a transit point for illegal drugs, particularly cocaine, which is trafficked from South America to Europe.
