Located in the Western part of Africa and named after the Guinea region, Guinea was formerly known as French Guinea.
A sovereign state with a population of approximately 12.4 million people, the country is sometimes called Guinea-Conakry to distinguish it from other countries such as Guinea-Bissau and Equatorial Guinea.
It practices a Unitary Presidential Republican system of government with the president directly elected by the people – his position is both head of state and head of government.
This country is largely dependent on bauxite, despite its rich deposits in diamond and gold. The west-coastal nation controversially sat at the core of the 2014 Ebola outbreak. Guinea is predominantly an Islamic country, with 85 percent of its population practicing Islam.
