Guinea-Bissau

Description:

Guinea-Bissau, located in West Africa, is a small country that often goes unnoticed on the world map. With a population of approximately 1.9 million people, it is one of the least developed countries in the world. Guinea-Bissau gained independence from Portugal in 1973, and since then has struggled with political instability and economic hardships. Its economy relies heavily on agriculture, with cashew nuts being the main export product. The country is known for its rich cultural heritage, with diverse ethnic groups and languages. Although facing challenges such as poverty and drug trafficking, Guinea-Bissau has a resilient population that continues to strive for a better future.
