The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Guyana is the mass suicide/murder of the Jim Jones followers. It looks like some people are trying to make it the 51st state.
Now wouldn't that chap Hugo Chavez hide
GuyanaUSA Guyana, formerly known as British Guiana, is located on the north-east coast of South America. Guyana is 82,978 square miles in area, slightly smaller than the state of Idaho. Similarly to the original Thirteen American Colonies, Guyana was once a British Colony. English is the official language of Guyana and is spoken by 99% of the population.
Due mainly to emigration to the USA, Guyana's population growth is in the negative. Only 650,000 people remain in Guyana. According to some studies, of those people who remain in Guyana, almost each and every one of them is awaiting the issuance of an immigrant-visa for the USA!
More than 350,000 Guyanese people have already immigrated to the USA! Truly a massive immigration. Over 100,000 Guyanese have become United States citizens. The other 250,000 may become citizens upon fulfilling the statutory requirements of naturalization. The overwhelming majority of these individuals support the legal incorporation of Guyana into the USA, in the form of US Statehood, Commonwealth or Territory of the USA. That newly created legal entity would be known as Guyana, USA. Take a look at the New Guyana Flag!
The advantages derived from American territoriality are many: especially in the areas of culture, technology, science, scientific discovery, drug-interdiction, education, economics, tourism, sports, religion, the environment, the protection of natural resources and the rain forest; and to the overall security of both the USA and Guyana and to the improvement of the quality of life of all the people of both Guyana and the USA.
