Answer:

It has the lowest population but the highest population density in Central Africa

Explanation:

The population of the archipelago is estimated at 178,734 inhabitants (2012):

Ethnic composition:

Blacks: 88%

Mestizos: 10%

Whites: 2%

Nationality of those registered:

Santotomenses: 173 027 inhabitants

Santotomenses with dual citizenship: 3 075

Foreigners: 2 637

All are descendants of emigrants who arrived on the islands since 1485. The first successful settlement (forced) was made with Spanish Sephardic Jews by order of King Juan II of Portugal. Almost the entire population lives on the island of Santo Tomé, while the rest of the islands, including the Prince, does not have more than 10,000 inhabitants. There is an important emigration flow towards the exterior, being Portugal and Brazil the main destinies of the Santotomense emigrants.
