Can you tell me about Gabon? 
 Sure! Gabon is located on the equator in the continent of Africa. It received its independence from France in 1960 and the capital city is Libreville. Would you like to learn about the history of Gabon? 
 Yes please. 
 You got it! Gabon was a territory of French Equatorial Africa from 1910 to 1959. Since gaining independence in 1960, the country has had only 3 presidents. 
 Wow, do you know anymore about their history? 
 Yes, in fact, it was French explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza who first led a mission to the Gabon-Congo area in 1875. 
 Very interesting. Do you happen to know anything about the demographics? 
 I do! About 1.5 million people live in Gabon and it is considered one of the richest countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, the income is unevenly distributed and many people live in poverty. 
 That sounds familiar. Would you happen to know the etymology? 
 Unfortunately I do not have that information, but I can tell you that the country has a very low population density among other African countries. 
 I did not know that. Any info on the government or politics? 
 Absolutely! Gabon is a member of several international organizations, including the United Nations, the African Union and the International Monetary Fund. 
 Cool, any other interesting facts? 
 Continuing on the subject of government, Gabon has a National Assembly and Senate as part of it's 2-chamber legislature. 
 Thank you for your help! 
 You're welcome!
