The Republic of Seychelles is an island nation located in the Indian Ocean, northeast of Madagascar. The archipelago is made of more than one hundred granite islands and flat coral atolls. Most of the population of about 90,000 is concentrated on Mahé, the largest island. The Seychelles’ government is a presidential republic with a president as both chief of state and head of government.
From the late 1550s to about the mid-1700s, the islands were a haven for pirates. France claimed the territory in 1756. After a French-English war, France ceded the area to Britain in 1814. The Seychelles gained independence in 1976. There was a period of instability, however, now the Seychelles have achieved stability and prosperity with a high per capita income, good education and health care.
Travellers are attracted by the tropical climate, the wildlife, which includes giant sea turtles, tortoises and sea bird colonies, and white sand beaches.
