| Seychelles (793 words) |
 | The Seychelles archipelago, in the Indian Ocean, comprises around 115 islands and islets, divided into two groups: the main group of 42 densely-clustered, granite islands, and the remaining 73 uninhabited coralline islands, spread out over a wide area to the southwest of the granitic islands. |
| Seychelles was ceded to Britain by France in 1814 and was ruled as part of Mauritius until it became a crown colony in 1903. |
| The election was to a 20-member commission to draft a new, democratic constitution, and in June 1993 a new multiparty constitution was adopted. |
