Surinam is big for a country with less than 500.000 people. The population density is low: 4 people per square km.
A great part of the country is uninhabited. About 90% of the people live in a 50km wide strip along the Atlantic coast.
The capital Paramaribo is situated at the estuary of the Suriname river, 15 km from the ocean. More than half of the
national population lives in the capital.
The climate is warm and humid, but the north- east trade-wind cools it down. The average temperature is 27°C.
It is never cold. Even at nights the temperature rarely drops below 23°C.
The population is mixed: Amerindian, negro, maroons, Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, boeroes (caucasian), jewish and
Lebanese people inhabit our small country.
The economy is based on natural resources: bauxite, gold, oil, wood,
agriculture, sea fishing and tourism.
