Equatorial Guinea is geographically divided into two primary regions:
- Continental Equatorial Guinea: Also known as RĂo Muni, this is the mainland territory located on the west coast of Africa, bordered by Cameroon to the north and Gabon to the east and south.123
- Insular Equatorial Guinea: This region consists of five islands. Bioko is the largest island, situated in the Bight of Biafra off the coast of Cameroon. The other four islands include Corisco, Great Elobey (Elobey Grande), Little Elobey (Elobey Chico), which are located near the mainland coast, and AnnobĂłn, a volcanic island located significantly further southwest.1243
