Politics of Equatorial Guinea takes place in a framework of a presidential republic, whereby the President of Equatorial Guinea is both head of state and head of government.   Although Equatorial Guinea lacks a well-established democratic tradition comparable to the developed democracies of the West, it has progressed toward developing a participatory political system out of the anarchic, chaotic, and repressive conditions of the Macias years.   Equatorial Guinea is divided in 7 provinces (provincias, singular - provincia); Annobon, Bioko Norte, Bioko Sur, Centro Sur, Kie-Ntem, Litoral, Wele-Nzas.
