Paramaribo is the capital and largest city of Suriname, home to approximately 240,000 residents. It operates on Suriname Time (SRT, UTC-3), a fixed year-round offset. Suriname is the smallest sovereign country in South America and the only one with Dutch as its official language — a former Dutch colony, it gained independence in 1975. The historic inner city of Paramaribo is a UNESCO World Heritage Site — it features a unique blend of wooden colonial Dutch architecture, Amerindian, African, Asian, and European cultural influences. The population of Suriname is extraordinarily diverse: descendants of African slaves, Indian indentured workers, Javanese, Chinese, indigenous Amerindians, Dutch, and others all maintain distinct cultural identities, making Suriname one of the world's most ethnically diverse nations. Suriname's rainforest (95% of the country) is one of the least disturbed in the world and harbours extraordinary biodiversity. The country recently discovered major offshore oil and gas reserves that could transform its economy.
