The Seychelles archipiellago is the least populated nation in Africa. For a while it was a French colony along with [[Useful Notes/Mauritius|Mauritius]] (they were administrated as one entity), but when the British took the islands in the [[Napoleonic Wars|Treaty of Paris]], they turned the archipiellago and Mauritius as separate colonies.
