What makes naming every African country hard is the fact that there’s like 3 or 4 different “Guinea’s”, and a bunch of island countries, and if you have to put them to the right place on a map? Game over. West africa is the hardest bit to match every country name to map, other than that it’s only slightly choppy sailing.
Well equatorial Guinea has its location in the name. And for the others the way to remember is: Guinea as the true Guinea is obviously the bigger one and Guinea-Bissau has a qualifier to it, therefore it’s smaller.

By the time you’re done naming them, there’s probably a new one up and you’re now sucked into writing a wiki article on it.

Fun fact: equatorial guinea is the only African country that speaks Spanish
Well … and Spain (Ceuta, Melilla and the Canarias)
Are these African countries?
No, they’re parts of Spain that lay geographically in Africa. Meaning Spain is a transcontinental country.

In an old job, coworkers showed me Jetpunk. Basically the same thing, it seems.
