Equatorial Guinea

There really isn't an original thing about Equatorial Guinea. We've already established that there's another country named after the equator, but there are also two other countries called "Guinea." I know, right? Equatorial Guinea has three official languages: Spanish, French and Portuguese. European imperialism pretty much landed on these guys like a piano in a Daffy Duck cartoon. Despite its relative economic superiority, Equatorial Guinea has never fully gotten over the inferiority complex it developed as a result of its close proximity to Cameroon, the coolest kid in central Africa.

Relatively large oil reserves or no, Equatorial Guineans NEVER have this much fun.
