Equatorial Guinea, located on the west coast of Central Africa, is one of the smallest countries in Africa, consisting of a mainland territory and five inhabited islands. It has significant oil reserves, which have contributed to making it one of the wealthiest countries per capita in Africa, albeit with wealth significantly skewed due to high levels of corruption and inequality. The country is culturally rich, with a mix of colonial Spanish influence and traditional African customs. Christianity is predominant, particularly Roman Catholicism, which plays a vital role in the societal structure.
