位於非洲中西部。自 1990 年代中期以來，赤道幾內亞已成為撒哈拉以南非洲最主要的石油生產國之一。龐大的石油收益和國內政局的穩定使該國成為非洲少數人均GDP破萬的國家（2022年預估）。儘管如此，該國仍有120 萬居民生活在貧困之中。自1968年獨立以來只經歷兩任總統，現任總統恩格瑪已統治該國超過42年，被西方國家視為獨裁者。民主和新聞自由在該國幾乎不存在。但該國和平指數相對高分，也因此成為2022年非洲聯盟特別峰會舉辦國，主導對抗恐怖主義和政變權力更迭等議題對話。
看2022位於非洲中西部，雖然名字上有赤道，但其實赤道只通過其領土之間的海域，沒有真的通過陸地領土。長期被列為世界最低度開發國家名單，好不容易1996年在幾內亞海域發現大量石油，經濟飛奔了五年。但近年石油產量下降，經濟增長率從最高149.9%一路跌到負值，所以雖然人均GDP排在非洲前五名，但需要趕緊找到新的經濟支柱。現任總統恩格瑪已統治該國超過42年，是世界現存在位最久的總統。
Year Founded: 1968
Equatorial Guinea is a country on the west coast of Central Africa. Despite its name, the Equator only passes through its territorial waters, not its land territory. It was long on the list of least developed countries. In 1996, the country finally discovered a large amount of oil in the Gulf of Guinea, and the economy grew at a rapid pace for five years. However, recently oil production has declined greatly. Its economic growth rate has dropped from its high of 149.9% to minus zero. Although its GDP per capita is still ranked in the top five in Africa, the country is in dire need of finding a new backbone for the economy. The incumbent president, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, has ruled the country for over 42 years. He is the longest-serving president in the world.
