Seychelles, officially the Republic of Seychelles (pronounced /seɪˈʃel/ or /seɪˈʃelz/; French: République des Seychelles, pronounced /seʃɛl/; Creole: Repiblik Sesel), is an archipelago nation of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, some 1,600 km east of mainland Africa, northeast of the island of Madagascar.
