As the name says it is a state located almost to the center of the Africa, without way outs on the sea, with damp hot climate and two completely dry seasons.
The territory is constituted from a wide plateau, that reaches 1.400 meters (Monts Bongos).
It is a poor state, poorly inhabited, with a density of about 3 inahb/kmq; submitted during the years to disastrous dictatorships (on all that of Bokassa in the years 1960-'70, that he crowned emperor with big pomp) and from power wars that produced dead and poverty.
Nevertheless the subsoil is rich of diamonds, golden, uranium and iron!
