Suriname
At just under 165,000 square kilometers (64,000 square miles), it is the smallest sovereign state in South America. Suriname has a population of approximately 575,990, most of whom live on the country's north coast, in and around the capital and largest city, Paramaribo

Archaeological excavations indicate that around 10,000 BC (possibly earlier) the first Paleo-Americans settled in the Sipaliwinisavanne. These were nomadic hunter-gatherers. The archaeological material (e.g. hand axe, chopper, stone arrowhead, etc.) corresponds to what is called the Old Stone Age or the Paleolithic in Europe. Around 3000 BC pottery producing farming communities settled near the lower Corantijn, where they resided until about 500 BC. In Suriname there is archaeological evidence that these communities settled on the Kauri Creek and the Maratakka. These were (semi-)sedentary farmers, and the archaeological material (pottery and agriculture) corresponds to what is called the New Stone Age or the Neolithic in Europe. The invasion of Suriname by the Europeans seriously disrupted the indigenous socio-political structures, and although the languages ​​and cultures of the various Karaib and Arawak-speaking peoples are in danger of extinction, they are still kept alive by the current indigenous population.

Suriname became independent on November 25, 1975. The Governor of Suriname Ferrier, the Dutch Prime Minister Den Uyl and Queen Juliana signed the treaty. Since then, the official name has been Republic of Suriname (see Separation Agreement). Ferrier became the first president of the new South American state. Five years later, a coup led by Petty Officer Desi Bouterse took place, but this did not put an end to the changing of the guard in the office of the presidency. In the series of past presidents, two names stand out: the just mentioned Bouterse, who twice for a few days, and Venetian who exercised the highest civil authority three times for a total of fifteen years, starting in 1991. Venetian, a former minister of education, was after democratic elections in 2010 relieved by Bouterse. After losing in the elections, Bouterse was succeeded as president in 2020 by Chan Santokhi.
