Gabon, dzina lonse la Republic of Gabon, lili pakatikati ndi kumadzulo kwa Africa, pomwe equator imadutsa gawo lapakati ndi Nyanja ya Atlantic kumadzulo. Imadutsa Congo (Brazzaville) kum'mawa ndi kumwera, ndipo imadutsa Cameroon ndi Equatorial Guinea kumpoto. Mphepete mwa nyanja ndi makilomita 800 kutalika. Mphepete mwa nyanja ndi chigwa, ndi milu ya mchenga, madambo ndi madambo m'chigawo chakumwera, ndi matanthwe oyang'anizana ndi nyanja kumpoto. Pakatikati pake ndi chigwa chokwera mamita 500-800. Phiri la Ibnji ndi lalitali mamita 1,575, malo okwera kwambiri mdzikolo. Mtsinje wa Ogoway umadutsa gawo lonse kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo. Ili ndi nyengo yofanana ya nkhalango ya equatorial yotentha kwambiri ndi mvula chaka chonse, ndi kutentha kwapakati pa 26 ℃. Dziko la Gabon lili ndi nkhalango zambiri. Nkhalangoyi ndi 85% yamalo mdziko muno. Amadziwika kuti "Green and Gold Country" ku Africa.

Dzikoli lagawidwa m'zigawo 9 (estuary, Ogooue-Maritime, Nyanga, Ogooue Central, Ogooue, Ogooue-Lolo, Ogooue Chigawo cha Wei-Yvindo, Chigawo cha Ngouni, ndi Walle-Entem Province, motsogozedwa ndi zigawo 44, zigawo 8 ndi mizinda 12.

M'zaka za zana la 12 AD, anthu aku Bantu adasamukira kum'mawa kwa Africa kupita ku Gabon ndipo adakhazikitsa maufumu amitundu mbali zonse ziwiri za Mtsinje wa Ogoway. Achipwitikizi adayamba kudera la Gabon kudzagulitsa akapolo m'zaka za zana la 15. France pang'onopang'ono idalanda m'zaka za zana la 18. Kuyambira 1861 mpaka 1891 gawo lonselo lidalandidwa ndi France. Mu 1910 adasankhidwa kukhala amodzi mwa magawo anayi a French Equatorial Africa. Mu 1911, France idasamutsa Gabon ndi madera ena anayi kupita ku Germany, ndipo Gabon idabwerera ku France pambuyo pa nkhondo yoyamba yapadziko lonse. Kumayambiriro kwa 1957 idakhala "republic-Autonomous republic". Mu 1958 idakhala "dziko lodziyimira palokha" mkati mwa "French Community". Kudziyimira pawokha kudalengezedwa pa Ogasiti 17, 1960, koma adakhalabe mu "French Community".

Mbendera yadziko: Ndi yaying'ono yamakona anayi ndi kutalika kwa kutalika kwake kwa 4: 3. Kuyambira pamwamba mpaka pansi, imakhala ndimakona atatu ofanananira obiriwira, achikasu ndi amtambo. Green ikuimira nkhalango zambiri. Gabon imadziwika kuti "nthaka yamatabwa" komanso "wobiriwira ndi golide"; wachikasu umaimira kuwala kwa dzuwa;

Anthu apitilira 1.5 miliyoni (2005). Chilankhulo chachikulu ndi Chifalansa. Zilankhulo zamtunduwu ndi Fang, Miyene, ndi Batakai. Anthu okhalamo amakhulupirira Chikatolika ndi 50%, amakhulupirira Chikhristu cha Chiprotestanti 20%, Chisilamu chimakhala 10%, ndipo ena onse amakhulupirira zipembedzo zoyambirira.

Amatchulidwa kuti ndi okhawo omwe amapeza "ndalama zapakati" mu Africa yolankhula Chifalansa. Chuma chidakula mwachangu pambuyo pa ufulu. Makampani opanga mafuta ochokera ku petulo apita patsogolo mwachangu, ndipo makampani opanga ndi ulimi alibe maziko olimba. Mafuta, manganese, uranium ndi matabwa kale anali mizati inayi yachuma. Gabon ili ndi chuma chambiri. Ndiwachitatu wopanga mafuta ku Black Africa, ndipo ndalama zake zogulitsa mafuta zimaposa 50% ya GDP yake. Malo osungira mafuta omwe atsimikiziridwa akhoza kupezeka pafupifupi matani 400 miliyoni. Malo osungiramo miyala ya manganese ndi matani 200 miliyoni, kuwerengera 25% ya malo osungidwa padziko lonse lapansi, achinayi, komanso wachitatu padziko lonse lapansi wopanga komanso wogulitsa kunja. Zotsatira zake zakhazikika pafupifupi matani 2 miliyoni mzaka zaposachedwa, ndipo amadziwika kuti "dziko la golide wakuda". Gabon imadziwika kuti dziko la nkhalango, lokhala ndi nkhalango zobiriwira komanso mitundu yambiri. Dera la nkhalangoyi ndi mahekitala 22 miliyoni, akuwerengera 85% yamalo mdziko muno, ndipo nkhokwe zosungidwa ndi pafupifupi ma cubic metres miliyoni 400, ndikunkhala lachitatu ku Africa.

Makampani opanga migodi ndiwo gawo lalikulu lazachuma ku Gabon. Kukula kwa mafuta kumayambira kumayambiriro kwa zaka za m'ma 1960. 95% yamafuta adatumizidwa kunja. Makampani opanga mafakitalewa akuphatikizapo kusungunuka kwa mafuta, kukonza nkhuni komanso kukonza chakudya. Kukula kwa ulimi ndi ziweto sikuchedwa, Tirigu, nyama, ndiwo zamasamba ndi mazira sizikwanira, ndipo 60% ya njere iyenera kuitanitsidwa kuchokera kumayiko ena. Dera lolimidwa ndilochepera 2% yadziko lonse lapansi, ndipo anthu akumidzi amawerengera 27% ya nzika zonse. Zinthu zazikulu zaulimi ndi chinangwa, chomera, chimanga, chilazi, taro, koko, khofi, masamba, labala, mafuta amanjedza, ndi zina zambiri. Imatumiza kunja mafuta, matabwa, manganese ndi uranium; imatumiza makamaka chakudya, zopepuka zamafuta, ndi makina ndi zida. Omwe amagulitsa nawo kwambiri ndi mayiko akumadzulo monga France.
