Congo, also informally called Congo-Brazzaville, in long form the Republic of the Congo, is a country in Central Africa, located on either side of the equator. Its neighbors are Gabon to the west, Cameroon to the north-northwest, the Central African Republic to the north-northeast, the Democratic Republic of Congo to the northeast, southeast and south from which it is separated, in part, by the Congo River then the Oubangui and Cabinda (Angola) to the southwest.
The tropical rainforest extends over nearly two-thirds of the territory of the Republic of Congo, making it the fifteenth country in the world by the proportion of forest cover.
The equator crosses the the Congo; its passage through the town of Makoua, in the Cuvette region, is marked by a boundary stone. The country has a coastline on the Atlantic Ocean with a length of 220 km.
