The mystery country for August 18, 2025 is: Suriname!
Why Suriname Trips People Up

Honestly, it’s the kind of country that makes you go: “Wait, I knew that… but also, did I?” Perfect Globle trap.
About Suriname
Quick Facts About Suriname 🇸🇷
- Where it is: Suriname sits on the northern edge of South America, but vibes more with the Caribbean/West Indies thanks to its culture and history.
- Neighbors: It’s squeezed between French Guiana, Guyana, Brazil, and the Atlantic Ocean.
- Small but mighty: It’s actually the smallest country in South America—about 163,000 km² with just over 600,000 people.
- Capital life: Nearly half the population lives in Paramaribo, a city famous for its colorful colonial wooden houses.
- Nature flex: More than 90% of the land is rainforest, giving it the highest forest cover percentage in the entire world. Literal jungle kingdom vibes.
- History in short: Indigenous groups lived here long before Europeans arrived. The Dutch took control in the 1600s, built sugar plantations using enslaved Africans, and later brought workers from India and Indonesia. Suriname finally became independent in 1975.
- Languages: Dutch is the official language (yep, the only independent country outside Europe where that’s true). But you’ll also hear Sranan Tongo, a creole that mixes English and other influences.
- People & culture: It’s super diverse—no single ethnic group is the majority. The mix includes descendants of Africans, Indians, Indonesians, Indigenous peoples, and more. It’s also home to some of the largest Hindu and Muslim communities in the Americas.
- Economy: Runs mostly on gold, bauxite, oil, and agriculture.
- Global ties: Part of the UN, CARICOM, OIC, and OAS.
