Democratic Republic of Congo

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is the third largest country by area in Africa and the most populated in Central Africa. 

It is extended on the Atlantic Ocean in the east plateau and corresponds to the major part of the pond of the river Congo. The North of the country is one of the biggest domains of equatorial forest of the world, the east of the country lines the big rift valley east African, domain of mountains, hills, big lakes but also volcanoes. The South and the center, the domain of the raised savannas, form a high plateau rich in ore. Extremely western, about forty kilometres in the North of the mouth of the river Congo spreads out a coast on the Atlantic Ocean. It borders the Central African Republic and Sudan on the north, Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi on the east, Zambia and Angola on the south, the Republic of the Congo on the west, and is separated from Tanzania by Lake Tanganyika on the east.

It is also called "Congo-Kinshasa" to avoid a confusion with its neighbour the Republic of Congo or "Congo-Brazzaville".
