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.
Beowawe, a part of Elko County in north-central Nevada, USA, is one of the state's lesser-known and remote towns. Located along Interstate 80, it is surrounded by a vast and inhospitable area with a permanent population of less than 100 people, preserving the primitive features of the late 19th century pioneering West. The town is known for its unique geothermal landscape, with natural geysers and steam vents, and an abundance of subsurface thermal energy that attracted early mining development. Today, Beowulf attracts explorers with its serene wilderness atmosphere and geological wonders, making it one of the hidden destinations for experiencing the vastness and mystery of Nevada's "Sky State".
