When it comes to daily income per person, Equitorial Gunea, a former Spanish colony that was granted independence in 1968, is now, shockingly, and since the discovery of oil in the mid-1990's and the full exploitation in 2004 led to Equatorial Guinea having the fastest growing economy in the world.

Still plagued with AIDS though, its still Africa.

Average life expectancy is 43, and has one of the worst human rights records in the world.

But factually, they're now the 3rd most prosperous nation on Earth!

they don't have a big population

Doesn't matter, Djibouti has the same deal, but we still consider Djibouti a full-fledged nation with arms and a soul.

Good job, Equitorial Guineans, whoever the hell you are!

A lot of wealth, with a small population = more prospering

That's the aim of this post!

They don't need economic strength, like the USA, they just need to prosper quietly and successfully.

Good grief, who'd have thought?

Djibouti is a functioning state, no doubt, but there is a lot of SEVERE poverty there. Don't think it ranks even per capita since it lacks natural resources.

MAD MAC,

they're not talking about Djibouti being the 3rd riches nation, they're talking about another country.

Someone made a comment that Eq. Guinea is too small to be a nation, and someone pointed out Djibouti, although small has a state apparatus and can be considered a state.

Gedo boi, i think he understood the message throughly well, but still the hard head he's can't seem to grasp the reality that an african nation can somehow rank such high spot on the wealthy scale.


Overall i think africa is the richest continent in terms of natural recources in the world...
