	Equatorial Guinea. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Río Muni, which includes about 93% of the nation’s land area and 75% to 80% of its population, is bordered by Cameroon in the north, by Gabon in the east and south, and by the Gulf of Guinea in the west.
		The population of Bioko is primarily made of the Bubi (the oldest of the modern-day inhabitants), descendants of slaves from W Africa liberated by the British in the 19th cent., and Nigerians and Fangs who migrated there in the 20th cent.
		The general region of Río Muni was awarded to Spain at the Conference of Berlin in 1885, and its boundaries were defined precisely in a treaty with France in 1900.

	La géographie du pays
		Depending administratively on Rio Muni, the small archipelagoes of Elobeys (2,46 Km2) and Corisco (15 km2) are at the end of the estuary of Rio Muni in the South.
		Rio Muni and especially the island of BioKb is subjected to a wet equatorial climate in any seasons which are characterized by often important rains and of violent thunderstorms.
		The continental region, Rio Muni, is much less damaged: the small mountainous chain of Niefang the crossbar according to a north-south direction(management) peaking in the mountain Chocolate (on 1108 m), Alen 1100m and Miitra 1200m, whereas ' in the East clocks(points,sticks) mountain Chime (on 1800 m) and Nzas's Piedra (on 1200 m).

		Elements of the latter may have generated the Bubi, who immigrated to Bioko from Cameroon and Rio Muni in several waves and succeeded former Neolithic populations.
		The excellent potential of the Rio Muni Basin has been demonstrated by the discovery of commercial oil at Ceiba field.
		The larger continental region of Rio Muni lies between Cameroon and Gabon on the mainland; it includes the islands of Corisco, Elobey Grande, Elobey Chico, and adjacent islets.

	Spanish Guinea, 1858 - 1959 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Río Muni is and was the continental part of Equatorial Guinea (that includes also, apart from Fernando Pó (now called Bioko), the island of Ano Bom, situated south of Sao Tome e Principe), that was called Spanish Guinea before independence.
		Rio Muni was also separate entity first colony (at same level that Fernando Poo, Corisco, Annobon and Elobey, three last ones merged by Rio Muni) and later province.
		No flag existed for any spanish colony, neither for the provinces (some spanish provinces have flag but not Fernando Poo neither Rio Muni) and thre are only known the maritime registration flags (see Santa Isabel Maritime Province 1889-1970) and the spanish governor general standard.

	CURRENT RESEARCH ISSUES AND PROSPECTS FOR CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT
		The Fang dominate the Rio Muni region and the Bubi, the island of Bioko.
		However, the fact that Lopez (1946) records the extensive use of NWFPs throughout the Rio Muni territory during the colonial era and the presence of complex trading patterns during the early colonial period indicates that the loss of knowledge of natural resources is a recent event.
		The authors are grateful to Mark Buccowich of CARPE for commisioning the preliminary study of the Rio Muni region and to Frank Stenmanns and all of the staff at CUREF for continuing the reiterative survey work and financing the initial survey of the Bioko markets.

		The Rio Muni Basin forms part of the extensive West African margin basin system, formed during continental separation and creation of the South Atlantic Ocean through the Cretaceous and Tertiary.
		In the Northern Gabon Basin and extending into southern Rio Muni, the rift section comprises lacustrine and fluvio-deltaic faulted and tilted strata of Barremian and Neocomian age.
		In northern Rio Muni, the syn-rift section comprises Late Barremian to Mid Aptian terrestrial clastics and lacustrine shales characterised by extensional rollover structures to mega-scale listric faults updip, and toe-thrust structures downdip.

	E.G. Background Information
		It has two provinces: Rio Muni, the continental territory, whose capital is Bata, and Fernando Póo, the island territory whose capital is Santa Isabel, which is also the capital of the Republic.
		The Fangs of Rio Muni are the most populous group, followed by the Bubis of Fernando Póo.
		The discrimination against the Bubis, Fernandinos or Kreeos (creole) and Annoboneses of the islands of Fernando Póo and Annobon, as well as against the Ndowes and Playeros (inhabitants of Southern Rio Muni, its coastline and islands), is widespread, as much in the guaranty of political positions as in awarding scholarships to study abroad.

	Introduction
		The principal ethnic group in Rio Muni is the Fang, also found in Gabon and Cameroon, who have dominated the remaining groups and have formed the strongest nuclei in the national government; the Fang have also emigrated in large numbers to Fernando Poo, although not originally native to that island.
		Pidgin English is not widely used in Rio Muni, except in Bata, due to the influx of residents of Fernando Poo and of natives of Cameroon, Nigeria and other English‑speaking areas.
		In Rio Muni, the principal lingua franca for inter‑ethnic communication is in theory Spanish, although Fang vies with Spanish, given the political and social hegemony of this group.

	Equatorial Wales - Country Background
		Portugal ceded the island to Spain in 1778 and, in 1844, the Spanish settled in the mainland area that became the province of Río Muni.
		In 1904, Bioko and Río Muni were organized into the Western African Territories, later known as Spanish Guinea, by the Spanish colonisers.
		Although a large proportion of the country's population, power and economy resided in Rio Muni, or perhaps because of this, the capital was located at Malabo on Bioko.

	Equatorial Guinea - some historical notes
		Mainland Río Muni dominates in surface (93% of he country's surface), but generally has not dominated in economical manners.
		These zones, however, had a population somewhat denser than in Río Muni, and for periods, looser centralized forms of social organisation were formed.
		The local Fang of Río Muni usually constituted the labour force on the few Spanish owned plantations and on an increasing number of village cooperatives.

		The Rio Grande rift is the easternmost actively deforming province of the western margin of North America.
		Reasons behind the variable character of the Rio Grande rift are not well-Understood, but may have significant bearing on our understanding of how and why continental lithosphere extends and of earthquake and volcanic hazards in rift zones.
