For those that don't know, French Guiana being an overseas department of France makes it analogous to Alaska or Hawaii, rather than a mere territory. It's considered a fully-fledged part of France, at the same level as all the departments of metropolitan France.
And because of that France's longest border is with Brazil.
Do they also get to vote for the president?
Yes, as it has the same rights as the other French counties in Europe. They also vote in EU parliament elections
That's so cool
So it’s a colony of Europe.
Not exactly. People live there have the same rights as people living in European France, they are not second class citizens.
Yes, a colony that was naturalized.
