Metroji clue #126

Georgetown in five emoji

Guyana

A capital sitting below sea level behind a wall, in a country that is mostly rainforest with almost nobody in it. The roads run out quickly and the rivers take over.

What each emoji refers to

Forest covers around four fifths of the country, and much of it has never been logged.
Rivers are the transport network. The Essequibo is over twenty kilometres wide at its mouth.
Kaieteur drops about 226 metres in a single fall, roughly five times the height of Niagara, with no infrastructure around it.
Harpy eagles and macaws are both here, and the birding trade brings in more visitors than anything else.
Rice and curry are staples, from the Indian labourers brought after emancipation, who became the largest group in the country.
