Guyana formerly British, Guyana, it is the only English speaking country in South America. Guyana is 82,978 square miles, slightly smaller than Idaho. Guyana's population is a mere 650,000 people. Almost 1/2 million Guyanese have already emigrated to North America, mostly to the USA, where a 100,000 of them have become American citizens and passport holders. The time has come for all Guyanese to become American citizens; and for Guyana to become a legally incorporated part of the USA, either as a state, commonwealth or territory of the USA! For more details and a view of the new flag please visit <www.GuyanaUSA.org>.

I haven't heard of this movement before, to establish Guyana as a US state. However, they have a flag - the Guyanan pattern, simplified into red, white and blue.
Rob Raeside, 27 November 2000

I glanced through the website briefly, and they say very explicitly that as a state Guyana would retain their current flag. Based on that I'd say that the red-white-blue version is only that of the movement, not of a notional "State of Guyana."

From <www.guyanausa.org>:
