flag: Equatorial Guinea

Equatorial Guinea is a small country located in Central West Africa. Its flag consists of green, white, and red stripes with a blue triangle.

Equatorial Guinea is known as an oil-rich nation. It is also the only country in Africa with Spanish as its official language.

On the Equatorial Guinean flag, green represents nature and agriculture, white symbolizes peace, and red represents the blood shed for independence. The blue triangle signifies the sea, and the national emblem features a silk-cotton tree.

Since gaining independence from Spain in 1968, oil exports have made it one of the countries with the highest GDP per capita in Africa. However, it suffers from severe wealth inequality, and rainforest conservation and sustainable development are considered important challenges.
