Co-operative Republic of Guyana is a sovereign state in the northern part of mainland South America. This is a semi-presidential socialist republic. Local currency is the Guyanese dollar. Official language is English; 9 regional languages are recognised too. Guyana is a member of the United Nations, World Trade Organisation, Organisation of American States, and CARICOM – membership in the latter is due to the strong cultural and historical ties of Guyana with the Caribbean Community.

Guyana is one of the poorest countries in the Western hemisphere. Main sectors of economy are agriculture and mining. There is a high level of corruption and income inequality, and lack of skilled labour. Main external trade partner of Guyana is the United States of America.
