São Tomé and Príncipe

This is a lower middle income and a developing small island state with a fragile economy. Since independence in 1975, it has operated a multiparty democratic system of governance with 97 per cent of its 200,000 people having access to an improved water source and 60 per cent with electricity.

People can live as long as 69 years.
