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.
North Miami is the county seat of Ottawa County in the northeastern U.S. state of Oklahoma, near the state's border with Kansas and Missouri. The city derives its name from the local Native American Miami Tribe, rather than the city of Miami, Florida. A regional center of commerce and transportation, North Miami has a population of approximately 13,000 (2020 data) and an economy dominated by agriculture, manufacturing, and mining, historically known for lead and zinc mining.
The city has a rich Native American cultural heritage, with several Indian reservations located in the surrounding area. Transportation benefits are significant, with proximity to U.S. Highway 69 and Grand Lake o' the Cherokees for outdoor recreation. Educational institutions, including Northeast Technical College Miami, provide local vocational training resources.
