Other descriptions of Geography of Benin Benin , a narrow, north-south strip of land in West Africa , lies between the Equator and the Tropic of Cancer Togo to the west, Burkina Faso and Niger to the north, Nigeria to the east, and the Bight of Benin to the south. With an area of 112,622 square kilometers, roughly the size of Pennsylvania , Benin extends from the Niger River in the north to the Atlantic Ocean in the south, a distance of 700 km (430 mi). Although the coastline measures 121 km (75 mi), the country measures about 325 km (about 200 mi) at its widest point. It is one of the smaller countries in West Africa: eight times smaller than Nigeria, its neighbor to the east. It is, however, twice as large as Togo, its neighbor to the west. A relief map of Benin shows that it has little variation in elevation (average elevation 200 meters). The country can be divided into four main areas from the south to the north. The low-lying, sandy, coastal plain (highest elevation 10 meters) is, at most, 10 km wide. It is marshy and dotted with lakes and lagoons communicating with the ocean. The plateaus of southern Benin (altitude comprised between 20 meters and 200 meters) are split by valleys running north to south along the Couffo, Zou, and Oueme Rivers. An area of flat lands dotted with rocky hills whose altitude seldom reaches 400 meters extends around Nikki and Save. Finally, a range of mountains extends along the northwest border and into Togo; this is the Atacora, with the highest point, Mont Sokbaro, at 658 meters. Two types of landscape predominate in the south. Benin has fields of lying fallow, mangroves, and remnants of large sacred forests. In the rest of the country, the savanna is covered with thorny scrubs and dotted with huge

Officially, Porto Novo is the capital, but Cotonou is the economic and political centre. The country formerly known as 'Dahomey', became independent from the French in 1960. It had the Revolution of 26 October 1972 and was proclaimed 'The People's Republic of Benin' on 30 November 1975. It was a Marxist-Leninist one-party state since then. From 1991 the country is a multi-party democracy, marked by relative political stability. The official language is French. The per capita GNP is about US$450, which is above West African average. Agriculture is the main economic activity, contributing about 37% to GDP, industry 13 and services 51% (1993). Agriculture is mainly subsistence farming, concentrating on yam, cassava and maize, followed by sorghum, cowpea (niébé), millet and rice. Main agricultural export products are: cotton, oil palm products, cocoa, and pineapple. A World Bank supported structural adjustment program is in operation since 1991.
