Grandcess is the capital of Grandcess County in southeastern Liberia, bordering the Atlantic Ocean, and is an important port and administrative center of the county. The local economy is based on agriculture and fishing, with an abundance of tropical crops such as rubber and palm oil, and rich coastal fisheries. As one of Liberia's older settlements, Grand Cess retains traditional African cultural features, and is populated mostly by ethnic groups such as the Kpelle. Despite its relatively weak infrastructure, its unique natural landscape and simple folkways make it an important gateway for exploring the culture of southeastern Liberia. In recent years, the local government is promoting tourism to attract tourists interested in pristine natural and cultural experiences.
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
