Hello there. Can you tell me about Guinea-Bissau? 
 Yes. It's a country in west Africa that covers 36,125 square kilometers. The capital is Bissau. 
 Can you tell me a little bit about the society of Guinea-Bissau? 
 After Guinea-Bissau gained independence, most of the Portuguese nationals left the country. 
 So they were a territory of Portugal? Do they speak Portuguese there? 
 Although Portuguese is one of the national languages of Guines-Bissou, Standard Portuguese is spoken mostly as a second language, and is mostly confined to the intellectual and political elite. 
 Interesting. Can you tell me about the economy there? 
 The nation was described by a United Nations official as being at risk for becoming a "narco-state". 
 What does "narco-state" mean? 
 Drug trafficking. Around 2005 drug traffickers based in Latin America began to use Guinea-Bissau, along with several neighboring west African countries, were used as a transshipment point to Europe for cocaine. 
 Oh wow, that is very scary for their country. Thank you so much for all your help today. 
 You are welcome.
Guinea-Bissau
