French Guiana

French Guiana is a neighbor of the South American countries of Brazil and Suriname. But as an overseas department of France, its currency actually is the European Union's euro. Questions typically refer to the country's infamous but now closed prison on Devil's Island; pioneering ecotourism by Maroon descendants of escaped slaves; and politico-economic challenges of illegal gold prospecting, high unemployment, and alleged favoritism to Hmong refugee settlers from Laos.

Bellissimo or Bellissimo ragazzo may be Italian equivalents of 'very handsome boy'. The masculine adjective 'bellissimo' is formed by adding the suffix '-issimo'['very, extremely'] to 'bello' ['handsome']. The masculine gender noun 'ragazzo' means 'boy', and doesn't have to be used in the sentence. The phrase is pronounced 'behl-LEES-see-moh rah-GAHTS-soh'.
