Equatorial Guinea (Spanish: Guinea Ecuatorial, French: Guinée équatoriale, Portuguese: Guiné Equatorial), officially the Republic of Equatorial Guinea (Spanish: República de Guinea Ecuatorial, French: République de Guinée équatoriale, Portuguese: República da Guiné Equatorial),
is a country located in Central Africa. Formerly the colony of Spanish Guinea, its post-independence name evokes its location near both the Equator and the Gulf of Guinea. Equatorial Guinea is the only sovereign African state in which Spanish is an official language. Equatorial Guinea consists of two parts, an insular and a mainland region. The insular region consists of the islands of Bioko (formerly Fernando Pó) in the Gulf of Guinea and Annobón, a small volcanic island south of the equator. Bioko Island is the northernmost part of Equatorial Guinea and is the site of the country's capital, Malabo. The island nation of São Tomé and Príncipe is located between Bioko and Annobón. The mainland region, Río Muni, is bordered by Cameroon on the north and Gabon on the south and east. It is the location of Bata, Equatorial Guinea's largest city, and Oyala, the country's planned future capital. Rio Muni also includes several small offshore islands, such as Corisco, Elobey Grande, and Elobey Chico. Since the mid-1990s, Equatorial Guinea has become one of sub-Saharan Africa's largest oil producers. Equatorial Guinea has a tropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons. From June to August, Río Muni is dry and Bioko wet; from December to February, the reverse occurs. In between there is gradual transition.
Guiné Equatorial, oficialmente República da Guiné Equatorial,
é um país da África Ocidental, dividido em vários territórios descontínuos no Golfo da Guiné, um continental, Mbini (antiga colónia espanhola de Río Muñi), incluindo a cidade binacional de Cocobeach, partilhada com o Gabão, e os outros insulares. A ilha de Bioko (antiga Fernando Pó), no norte do Golfo do Biafra, alberga a capital, Malabo; as outras ilhas são a de Ano Bom, a sul de São Tomé e Príncipe, e as ilhas Corisco, Elobey Grande e Elobey Pequeno (e ilhotas adjacentes) na baía de Corisco, ao largo do Gabão. Além do Gabão e São Tomé e Príncipe, a Guiné Equatorial tem fronteiras com os Camarões e com a Nigéria. A Guiné Equatorial tem um clima tropical com estações secas e úmidas distintas. De junho a agosto, Río Muni é seco e Bioko, úmido; De dezembro a fevereiro, ocorre o inverso. Antes da independência, a Guiné Equatorial exportava cacau, café e madeira, principalmente, para seu governante colonial, a Espanha, mas também para a Alemanha e Reino Unido. A descoberta de grandes reservas de petróleo, em 1996, e sua posterior exploração, têm contribuído para um aumento muito grande na receita do governo. A partir de 2004, a Guiné Equatorial se tornou o terceiro maior produtor de petróleo da África Subsaariana.
