The Republic of Madagascar (malagasy: Repoblikan'i Madagasikara) with its capital Antananarivo covers 587,295 km². The fourth largest island in the world lies around 420 kilometres off the east coast of Mozambique in the Indian Ocean and is therefore counted as part of East Africa. The national territory includes countless islands, most of which are very small. The two largest off the north-west coast are Nosy Be (325 km²) and Nosy Mitsio (30 km²), other smaller neighbouring islands are Nosy Iranja, Nosy Mitsio, Nosy Sakatia and Nosy Tanikely. Madagascar was a French colony from 1896 until it gained independence in 1960. The Comoros archipelago (2,236 km²) off the north coast with the capital Moroni forms an independent island state.
