French Guiana (Concert of Europe)

Guiana (French: Guyane), often called French Guiana (French: Guyane Française) to avoid confusion with the British colony of Guyana and the Dutch colony of (also known as Dutch Guyana) is a French colony in. It borders to its east and its south, Suriname to its west, and the  to its north. It is the only French possession in the South American continent. As the southern half of its territory is occupied by a dense forest, Guiana has a very low population density, and most of its inhabitants live in Cayenne, the capital.

The official language of the colony is French, but many indigenous and creole languages are also spoken by the population. Guiana's population is very ethnically diverse, and mulattoes make up most of the population: native Frenchmen and indigenous peoples are also a large part of the population. Its economy is mainly based on gold mining, fishing, and timber, but the colony still heavily depends on goods imported from metropolitan France.
