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.
Maryland is a state in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States, also known as the "Free State", known for its rich history, multiculturalism and economic vitality. Its capital city, Annapolis, and largest city, Baltimore, are home to a major port and top academic institutions such as Johns Hopkins University. The state is home to both bustling cities and the tranquil Chesapeake Bay coastline, where agriculture and technology industries coexist and biotechnology and aerospace lead the way. As one of the thirteen early states of the United States, it retains numerous historic sites from the Revolutionary War, such as the State Capitol in Annapolis. Its unique location connects the Northeast to the South, and its four distinct seasons and ease of living make it one of the most popular places to settle in the United States.
