G Countries

The A to Z categories are based on the English language and inadvertently might not include all native country names.

Throughout the world, there are 11 countries whose names start with the letter G. The continent with the most 'G' countries is Africa. Africa's five G countries are GABON, GAMBIA, GHANA, GUINEA, and GUINEA-BISSAU. Interestingly, all five countries are in West Africa and share a coastline with the Atlantic Ocean. GEORGIA, where the Caucasus Mountains stretch horizontally across the northern part of the country, is the only 'G' country in Asia. For reference, Georgia is east of the Black Sea and south of western Russia. In Europe, the two 'G' countries are GERMANY and GREECE. North America's two 'G' countries are GUATEMALA, located west of Belize, El Salvador, and Honduras and southeast of Mexico, and GRENADA, a Caribbean Sea island in the Lesser Antilles island chain. Lastly, the only South American 'G' country is GUYANA, which is on the northern coast of South America to the east of Venezuela, north of Brazil, and west of Suriname.
