Five things to know about Guinea-Bissau
In Geodar these are the five clues to this country, and it counts as one of the hard countries. The game asks the hardest clue first. Here the easiest comes first.
- Where it is. It's Guinea-Bissau, on the Atlantic coast of West Africa, between Senegal and Guinea. See Guinea-Bissau on a map.
- It added its capital's name to its own, so as not to be mixed up with its bigger neighbour.
- Portuguese is its official language, though most of its people speak a creole called Crioulo.
- On its islands live the only hippos in the world that spend most of their lives in salt water.
- Those islands, the Bijagós, lie off its coast: sea turtles nest there and vast flocks of shorebirds winter.
