And French Guiana is not a country, just a region of France

Huh, so it's one of those relics of colonialism that didn't eventually end up independent then.

Also really weird to learn they use the Euro there lol

Indeed, you can even see French Guyana depicted on the map on the back of the Euro banknotes (usually on a map window in the lower left corner).
