Description
Benin is a narrow West African country on the Gulf of Guinea, bordered by Togo, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Nigeria. Its official capital is Porto-Novo, though the coastal city of Cotonou serves as the seat of government and the country's largest city and commercial hub. Benin is widely regarded as the birthplace of the Vodun (Voodoo) religion. The ISO 3166-1 codes for Benin (alpha-2 BJ, alpha-3 BEN, numeric 204) are used across internet domains, currency and banking systems, and international shipping and travel documents.
