Benin
Benin connects to 9470 places across 27 topics through 691 Bunkabop connections, with government and sports forming the two largest clusters. It shares many connections with Nigeria, the United States, and France, reaching well beyond West Africa. Religion, language, and military topics also appear throughout. The National Order of Benin, established in 1960, is the country's highest national honour, and Beninese languages use a distinct phoneme-per-letter system rather than the diacritics common in French.
