'''Borgu''' ([[Batonum]]: ''Barutêm'') is a landlocked country placed between the Julian Mountains and the Niger River. It borders Iorubaland to the south, Guinea to the west, Gurma and Songhay to the north, and [[Niger]] to the east. Niqui, the capital, is the seat of one of the only elective monarchies in the world. While largely an agricultural nation, the southern city of Queragooro has become a commercial and industrial hub since the Borgu's independence from [[Portugal]] and the discovery of iron reserves in the 1960s.
