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.
Miorsky is a city in the Vitebsk Region of Belarus, located in the north-western part of the country near the Latvian border, about 120 kilometers from the regional capital Vitebsk. As the administrative center of Miorsky District, the city is situated in the basin of the West Dvina River, surrounded by forests and lakes and a beautiful natural environment. The city has a population of about 80,000 people and its main economic pillars are industry (wood processing, machine building) and agriculture, with the recent development of light industry and tourism. With its partially preserved Soviet-era architecture and a local culture that blends Belarusian and Baltic characteristics, Miory is one of the most important points for experiencing the countryside of northwestern Belarus.
