I have a layer of countries, and I am trying to select all of Central and South America and export it to GeoJSON. 

I am using this Admin 0 - Countries without boundary lakes from this link:
https://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/110m-cultural-vectors/

For some reason, I cannot select French Guiana alone. When I select it (with either an expression or the point-and-click), France gets selected as well. I searched for French Guiana in the attribute table and I couldn't find it, I'm afraid it is grouped in with France somehow.

How do I separate French Guiana from France so I can select all of Central and South America and not select European France?

Thank you!
