With a land area of 83,534 km2 (32,253 sq mi), French Guiana is the second-largest region of France (it is more than one-seventh the size of Metropolitan France) and the largest outermost region within the European Union.

It has a very low population density, with only inhabitants per square kilometre (9.3/sq mi). (Its population is less than 1/200 the population of Metropolitan France.)

Half of its 296,711 inhabitants in 2019 lived in the metropolitan area of Cayenne, its capital. 98.9% of the land territory of French Guiana is covered by forests, a large part of which is primeval rainforest.

The Guiana Amazonian Park, which is the largest national park in the European Union covers 41% of French Guiana's territory.

Since December 2015 both the region and the department have been ruled by a single assembly within the framework of a new territorial collectivity, the French Guiana Territorial Collectivity (French: collectivité territoriale de Guyane).

This assembly, the French Guiana Assembly (French: assemblée de Guyane), has replaced the former regional council and departmental council, which were both disbanded.

The French Guiana Assembly is in charge of regional and departmental government. Its president is Rodolphe Alexandre.

The region still faces such problems as poor infrastructure, high costs of living, high levels of crime and common social unrest.

The avifauna of French Guiana has 698 confirmed species, of which one is endemic.
