GY — Guyana

Guyana is the only English-speaking country in South America, located on the continent's north coast between Venezuela, Brazil, and Suriname. Georgetown is the capital. Guyana has become one of the world's fastest-growing economies after massive offshore oil discoveries by ExxonMobil in 2015. The Guyanese Dollar (GYD) is the national currency. For developers, the GY country code and en-GY locale handle Guyanese English, which has Caribbean characteristics. The .gy domain and +592 calling code serve Guyana's digital infrastructure. Guyana's unique position as the only English-speaking South American nation means it is classified in the Americas/South America region but shares more cultural and linguistic ties with the Caribbean. The .gy domain has been used for domain hacking. Guyana's recent oil wealth is driving rapid modernization, making it an emerging market for digital services. The country's CARICOM membership aligns it with Caribbean economic and digital integration initiatives.
