'''Gabon''', commonly known as '''Gabon''' ('''/ɡəˈbɒn/),''' is an independent nation in the northwest quadrant. The mainland of Gabon is situated adjacent to the Coral Sea and the Sea of Crete. The nation borders [[Icenia]] to the east across the Dover Strait and [[Varkonia]] to the west across the Bay of Hope. In addition, Gabon includes more than 7 islands; principally off to the east and south. Most of the population, including the capital [[Salisbury|Salisbury,]] is concentrated in the central belt – the forest plain between the northern mountains and southern snow-plains.
Gabon is divided into 5 administrative subdivisions, known as boroughs. Salisbury is the largest borough in terms of population, with the borough of Baile bán being the largest in terms of area. Limited self-governing power, covering matters such as education, roads and transportation is devolved from the Gabonese Government to each subdivision via appointed Mayors. The Capital of Salisbury is further split into 13 subdivisions, known as suburbs – under the authority of the Mayoralty of Salisbury.
