Guyana, which is officially named as the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, is the only nation state of the Commonwealth of Nations on the mainland of South America. Guyana was one of the first nations to sign the treaty of Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage that was adopted by UNESCO since more than 80% of this nation is covered with forests.
Guyana is one of the world's largest producers of bauxite and thus jobs in Guyana are available in the bauxite mining fields. Diamonds and gold are mined as well. The economy of Guyana has improved slightly due to the since expansion in the agricultural and mining sectors.
