GEOGRAPHY

Equatorial Guinea consists of several small islands off the Cameroon coast and a small section of the African mainland between Gabon and Cameroon. The capital, Malabo, is on the largest of the offshore islands (Bioko), although 80% of the population reside on the mainland. The islands are volcanic, while the mainland is forested, rising to mountains inland.
