Prescott is a charming riverside city in Pierce County, Wisconsin, USA, located at the confluence of the Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers. As the westernmost community in Wisconsin, it is known for its magnificent natural beauty and rich historical heritage.

Surrounded by unique river ecosystems and bluff landscapes, the city is an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a variety of recreational activities such as fishing, boating, hiking and bird watching.
The area was first discovered by European explorers in the 17th century and permanent settlements began to be established in the mid-19th century. The Prescott Historic District preserves many of its late 19th-century buildings, while local museums showcase Aboriginal culture and the lives of early settlers. The River Festival and Arts Festival, held each summer, attract many visitors.
A quintessential American town, Prescott's economy is dominated by tourism, small retail and service industries. The community atmosphere is friendly and peaceful, with a quality public school system and excellent public facilities, making it a popular choice for families to live and vacation.
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.
