Wi an aurie o 28,000 square kilometres (11,000 sq mi) it is ane o the smawest kintras in continental Africae. It is an aa the maist prosperous; housomeivver, the wealth is concentratit in govrenment an elite haunds, wi 70% o the population livin unner the Unitit Naitions Poverty Threshold o $2/day.

Equatorial Guinea is bordered bi Cameroon on the north, Gabon on the sooth an east, an the Gulf o Guinea on the wast, whaur the island naition o São Tomé an Príncipe is locatit atween Bioko an Annobón. Umwhilie the colony o Spainyie Guinea, its post-unthirldom name is suggestive o its location near baith the equator an the Gulf o Guinea.
