Republic of Guyana

National Anthem: Dear Land of Guyana

Selected a month before independence in 1966, it was written by Archibald Leonard Lacquer and composed by Robert Cyril Gladstone Potter.

The Republic of Guyana (English: Republic of Guyana), commonly known as Guyana, is a republican nation located in the northeastern part of South America and one of the members of the Commonwealth of Nations. It borders Suriname to the east, Venezuela to the west, Brazil to the south, and faces the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean to the north. The capital is Georgetown.

Guyana is the third smallest country in South America and has had territorial disputes with Venezuela since the 19th century during the British era over Guayana Esequiva, the current territory of Guyana. It is culturally close to the Caribbean countries in Latin America, and English is the only official language in South America.
