Guinea
Conakry's home nation
Guinea is a country on the West African coast, formerly French Guinea.
The name has spread to neighboring Guinea-Bissau and Equatorial Guinea, and historically to the broader Guinea coast.
Papua New Guinea is an unrelated country in the Pacific.
A guinea pig is a small domesticated rodent—not from Guinea but from South America, the name possibly a corruption of Guiana. (Lowercase guinea was a British coin and is a slur for Italians.)
