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.
Nokur is a city in the Balkan region of Turkmenistan, located on the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea near the country's key energy producing regions. The city, with its predominantly industrial and port functions, is one of the key nodes in the supply chain for Turkmenistan's oil and gas exports, and is surrounded by a number of natural gas fields and oil facilities.
Nokur's economy is highly dependent on the energy sector, and the government has continued to invest in infrastructure in recent years to support energy development projects along the Caspian Sea coast. The city has a dry, temperate desert climate and a relatively small population, mainly composed of industrial workers. Its location also makes it a potential hub for regional trade and transportation.
Although tourism is not a major industry, Nokur's proximity to the Caspian Sea attracts a small number of tourists to explore the natural beauty of the coast. Urban development reflects Turkmenistan's national strategy of energy-driven economic growth.
