Flag of Togo
The flag of Togo is composed of five equal horizontal bands of green alternating with yellow. A red square bearing a five-pointed white star is superimposed in the canton.
Where it is
Togo is grouped in Western Africa, within Roam’s Africa region. Its land-border list includes 3 countries in this atlas: Benin, Burkina Faso, Ghana. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Togo has a recorded area of 56,785 square kilometres. Among the 16 countries assigned to Western Africa in this dataset, it ranks 13 by area, from largest to smallest. Sierra Leone is immediately above it in that ordering, at 71,740 km². Guinea-Bissau is immediately below it, at 36,125 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 8,591,626 people for Togo in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 151 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are French. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is West African CFA Franc (XOF). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
