Seychelles, officially the Republic of Seychelles, is an archipelago and country in the Indian Ocean. The 115-island country lies 1,500 km east of mainland East Africa and is a member of the African Union, the Southern African Development Community, the Commonwealth of Nations, and the United Nations. Seychelles is a world leader in sustainable tourism and holds the record for the highest percentage of land under natural conservation (50% of the total land area). Seychelles boasts the highest nominal per capita GDP in Africa (excluding the French regions) due to its development into an offshore financial sector.
