Republic of Independent Guiana

Counani (French pronunciation: [kunani]), officially the Republic of Independent Guyana (French: République de la Guyane Indépendante; French pronunciation: [ʁepyblik də la ɡɥijan ɛ̃dɛpɑ̃dɑ̃t]), or the Republic of Counani, was a state that emerged in 1886, in a disputed territory between what was Pinsônia, and French Guiana, composed mainly of native Brazilians, but also of crioulos, caboclos, and blacks, generally indifferent regarding whom would rule it. It was proclaimed by French and Swiss adventurers who migrated there upon reading idyllic descriptions made by pseudo-anarchist explorer Henri Coudreau — who mapped and published extensively about it during his centennial journey in Pinsônia —, challenger of the public notion of a "Green Hell", and proceeded to ally with the locals.
