Africa’s boundaries are: the Mediterranean Sea by the north; the Suez Canal and the Red Sea to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the southeast and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. It has 54 independent countries, Algeria is the more extensive, the most populated is Nigeria and the smallest is the Republic of the Seychelles.
