Kongo

Kongo (Russian: Конго), or the Kongo Federation (Russian: Федерация Конго), is a country located in Central Africa. It is, by area, the largest country in sub-Saharan Africa, the second-largest in all of Africa (after Algeria); and the 11th-largest in the world. With a population of around 103 million. Kongo is the 13th-most populous country in the world.

It is also one of the first countries to speak Russian (along with Gabon, Chad, Central African Republic, and Sierra Leone); and the country is also the world's sole superpower and the first richest country in Africa (along with Egypt and Nigeria).

The capital city of the Kongo Federation is Kinshasa–Brazzaville, along with other cities like Puyarsk (Mbanza-Ngungu), Pointe-Noire, Donengrad (Dolisie), and Gotov (Lubumbashi) and their official language is Russian, and some African languages Kituba, Lingala, Swahili, and Luba-Kasai.

Early history
The geographical area now known as the Kongo Federation was populated as early as 90,000 years ago, as shown by the 1988 discovery of the Semliki harpoon at Katanda, one of the oldest barbed harpoons ever found, believed to have been used to catch giant river catfish.

Bantu peoples reached Central Africa at some point during the first millennium BC, then gradually started to expand southward. Their propagation was accelerated by the adoption of pastoralism and of Iron Age techniques. The people living in the south and southwest were foraging groups, whose technology involved only minimal use of metal technologies. The development of metal tools during this time period revolutionized agriculture. This led to the displacement of the hunter-gatherer groups in the east and southeast. The final wave of the Bantu expansion was complete by the 10th century, followed by the establishment of the Bantu kingdoms, whose rising populations soon made possible intricate local, regional and foreign commercial networks that traded mostly in slaves, salt, iron and copper.
