    That is French Guiana, which is an “overseas department of France” and is in the European Union. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Guiana

      For those that don’t know, French Guiana being an overseas department of France makes it analogous to Alaska or Hawaii, rather than a mere territory. It’s considered a fully-fledged part of France, at the same level as all the departments of metropolitan France.

        And because of that France’s longest border is with Brazil.

          Yes, as it has the same rights as the other French counties in Europe. They also vote in EU parliament elections

        So it’s a colony of Europe.

          Not exactly. People live there have the same rights as people living in European France, they are not second class citizens.

            Yes, a colony that was naturalized.

      So, a european construct, not part of Europe, the actual continent.

      Then there should be much more purple scattered throughout the world.

      Within Canada’s borders is another part of France.

        No.

        On your link you can read it’s an Overseas Collectivity, unlike French Guyana, which is an Overseas Department. Collectivities have some more autonomy, they can have different laws.

        Is it actually in our borders? It’s an island.

            Of course we did, nothing like a good pointless naval dispute. Next thing we know our military will be dropping flags and bottles of booze on their beaches.
