It is flanked by Chad toward the north, Sudan toward the upper east, South Sudan toward the east, the Democratic Republic of the Congo toward the south, the Republic of the Congo toward the southwest and Cameroon toward the west.

A large portion of the CAR comprises of Sudano-Guinean savannas, yet the nation additionally incorporates a Sahelo-Sudanian zone in the north and a central woods zone in the south. 66% of the nation is inside the Ubangi River bowl (which streams into the Congo), while the staying third lies in the bowl of the Chari, which streams into Lake Chad. Focal African Republic has been possessed for centuries; be that as it may, the nation's present fringes were built up by France, which led the nation as a province beginning in the late nineteenth century. In the wake of picking up autonomy from France in 1960, the Central African Republic was managed by a progression of imperious pioneers, including a fruitless endeavor at a government; by the 1990s, calls for popular government prompted the first multi-party equitable races in 1993. In spite of its critical mineral stores and different assets, for example, uranium saves, unrefined petroleum, gold, precious stones, cobalt, amble, and hydropower, just as noteworthy amounts of arable land, the Central African Republic is among the ten least fortunate nations on the planet.

King Protea (Protea cynaroides)

Protea cynaroides, the ruler protea, is a blooming plant. It is a particular individual from Protea, having the biggest bloom head in the variety. The species is otherwise called goliath protea, honeypot or ruler sugar bramble. It is broadly circulated in the southwestern and southern pieces of South Africa in the fynbos area. The lord protea has a few shading structures and horticulturists have perceived 81 garden assortments, some of which have unwisely been planted in its common range. In certain assortments the pink of the blossom and red fringes of leaves are supplanted by a smooth yellow. This surprising blossom has a long vase life in bloom game plans, and makes for a magnificent dried blossom. Protea cynaroides is adjusted to endure out of control fires by its thick underground stem, which contains numerous lethargic buds; these will deliver the new development after the flame. P. cynaroides is a woody bush with thick stems and huge dim green, gleaming leaves. Most plants are one meter in stature when experienced, yet may change as indicated by territory and environment from 0.35 to 2 meters (1 ft 2 in to 6 ft 7 in) in tallness. The "blossoms" of P. cynaroides are really composite blossom heads (named an inflorescence) with a gathering of blooms in the inside, encompassed by substantial vivid bracts, from around 120 to 300 millimeters (5 to 12 in) in measurement. Extensive, overwhelming plants produce six to ten bloom heads in a single season, albeit some excellent plants can create up to forty blossom heads on one plant. The shade of the bracts changes from a rich white to a profound ruby, yet the delicate pale pink bracts with a brilliant sheen are the most prized.
