There is one small officially Spanish speaking country in the heart of Africa: Equatorial Guinea. In a way it is a cousin Equador. In fact you could call this country Equador Guinea? Apparently Guinea means black in Arabic, so some thing. Funny thing about Guinea, there are a lot of nations that use this term, it seems that people love it: Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Papua New Guinea. Bottom line there are a lot of Guineas, but note guinea pigs have little to do with the Guineas across the world.
The Christmas Equatorial Guinea Flag is altered for the Christmas Holiday. The coat of arms is a bit larger than normal. The God Tree (Cebia pentandra) is a tropical tree makes a silky cotton and is used for a variety of purposes. It is the national tree for: Guatemala, Puerto Rico, and even honored in Sierra Leone as the Cotton Tree. Also the stars are glowing and three are coloured white, in order to give a sparkly appearance. Finally the motto on the ribbon has changed to read 'Feliz, Paz, Navidad.'
Persons from African-Ecuador have a good relation with persons from the Dominican Republic, since both persons have a mixed Spanish-African heritages.
