No. French Guiana is not independent, but is an overseas department of France. http://www.statoids.com/ugf.html Suriname is the smallest in area of the independent countries of South America. French Guiana is the smallest of the separate territorial areas on the mainland, but it is part of France, not independent. The smallest in land area of all South American areas is actually another non-independent unit, the Falkland Islands, which belong to the UK. http://en.wikipedia.
