		The one thing that does unify Equatorial African countries is which European Nation it was a former colony of (which seems a rather poor means of unifying a diverse population).
		The main problem encountered by Equatorial African governments seems to be not a lack of resources, but rather the lack of a necessary infrastructure (roads, trained personnel, developmental capital, et.) to effectively utilize those resources they have.
		The Democratic Republic of Congo, with a population of 52.0 million, is one of Africa's largest countries both in terms of population and area.
