French Guinea has EU license plates (upper right corner), pointing it out so you or anyone else can compare it with the mercosur ones.

Isn’t it legally just a perfectly ordinary département of France, formally indistinguishable from Île-de-France or similar? France has a weird fetish for insisting that its most far-flung possessions are not one iota less quintessentially French than anywhere in l’Hexagone

It's a region of France but it has a specific status given the distance, and their own parliament of 55 elected officials

Afaik, Mayotte, Martinique, and Corsica also have the same status and their own parliament
