The full name of Congo can refer to two countries: the Republic of the Congo, often simply called Congo-Brazzaville, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, commonly referred to as Congo-Kinshasa. The Republic of the Congo is located to the west of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is significantly larger. Both countries are situated in Central Africa and share a border along the Congo River.
There are two countries which go by the name of Congo - the Republic of Congo, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly known as Zaire). Both are in Africa, not in Asia.
The Republic of the Congo borders Gabon and what was once Zaire, now called the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In its current form, using the name of Zaire can be confusing because of the name change.
