Overview
Though under the sovereignty of France, one of the several core nations of Europe, the European Union, and the Eurozone, the French Overseas Territory of French Guiana shall not be considered part of Europe, though the same can also be stated with the remainder of the French Overseas. In the particular case of French Guiana, the area is significantly different from Metropolitan France, yet with the same national sovereignty and full integration with the modern nation. Even as a full department of France, the region remains less autonomous and more dependent on the European continent than Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Mayotte, Réunion, Saint Barthélemy, Saint-Martin, New Caledonia, and French Polynesia located elsewhere across the globe.
