Equatorial Guinea was a Spanish colonial possession for centuries, but it gained its independence in 1968. Years of turmoil and dictatorial rule followed. The 1982 constitution established a framework of government but also a single-party system. While multiple parties were allowed after the 1991 constitution, single-party rule is still basically the situation.

Essentially, the Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea dominates the government. And although there is an elected assembly and a slate of cabinet posts, the president has by far the most power. The president is elected by the people to a term of seven years.

But despite the political problems in Equatorial Guinea, the people celebrate their national constitution, culture, and history every mid-August on Constitution Day.
