Madagascar is an island off the east coast of Africa, in the Indian Ocean. It has about 21,315,135 people and the capital is Antananarivo. Isolationism from the rest of the African continent makes Madagascar a unique country with hundreds of indigenous species. Many ethnic groups also live alongside each other under a Republic following their independence from European colonization.
