  6. History and political system • The islands were originally uninhabited but later Maldivian and Arab marines and traders as well as pirates landed on the amazing shoreline. • During the Napoleonic wars, France ruled the archipelago but in 1812 the islands became a colony of the Kingdom of England. In the process of decolonization the Seychelles gained their independence from Great Britain in 1976 and became a free member of the Commonwealth of Nations. The symbolic Head of the Commonwealth is Elisabeth II but thereal state representative is the President.

  8. Languages and Demography • Due to historical circumstances and multi-ethnic roots (African, French, Indian, Chinese and British) official languages are French, English and Seychellois Creole. (Creole languages are usually a mixture of African dialects, French, English and Spanish – depending on location). • The capital city is called Victoria and is situated on the island Mahé with a population of 80,000 people. (All of the Seychelles have 94,000 inhabitants.)
