Majuro, the capital and largest city of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, is located in the west-central Pacific Ocean and consists of 64 coral islands, mainly concentrated in Majuro Atoll. As a political, economic, and cultural center, Majuro is the administrative hub of the Marshall Islands, with a concentration of government agencies, a major port, and an international airport. The city has a tropical climate with an average annual temperature of approximately 27°C. English and Marshallese are the official languages. The economy is based on fishing, tourism and foreign aid, and the lagoon in the atoll is suitable for the development of water sports, making it an important transportation and trade node in the Pacific. Majuro blends traditional Pacific culture with modern urbanity and is the gateway to exploring the Marshall Islands.
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.
