Guinea capital on the Kaloum Peninsula on the Atlantic coast — French is official, with the country's economy anchored by bauxite mining (Guinea has the world's largest bauxite reserves). Kaloum (the central business district at the peninsula tip), Dixinn, and Almamya are the typical anchors. Guinea has no DNV; tourist visa required for most western passports. The structural draws are Atlantic-coastal geography, deep French-West-African cultural environment, and mining-industry employment density. The structural friction is infrastructure (power outages are frequent) and security volatility — verify advisories actively.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
