Togo (officially the Togolese Republic) is a country in West Africa bordering Ghana to the west, Benin to the east and Burkina Faso to the north. It extends south to the Gulf of Guinea, on which the capital Lomé is located.

The official language is French; however, there are many other languages spoken in Togo.

Togo's size is just less than 57,000 square kilometres (22,000 sq mi). It has a population of more than 6 million people, which is dependent mainly on agriculture.

The mild weather makes for good growing seasons. Togo is a tropical, sub-Saharan nation.

About a third of the population live below the international poverty line of US$1.25 a day.
