Guyana

Situated on the northern coast of South America, this nation shares borders with Brazil, Venezuela, and Suriname while facing the Atlantic Ocean to the north. As the third-smallest sovereign state on the continent, it maintains a very low population density despite its substantial land area of approximately 215,000 square kilometers. Economically, the country has recently experienced rapid growth driven by offshore oil production, resulting in one of the highest GDP per capita figures in the region. This economic expansion has elevated its Human Development Index to 0.776, reflecting significant improvements in living standards alongside its status as a parliamentary republic with English as its official language.
