Located nearly a thousand miles east of Kenya, Seychelles consists of 115 separate islands and boasts nice tropical weather. It has a very small population - only 86,000 - making it the least inhabited of any other African state. The president is James Michel, who was able to get elected in 2011 despite fierce criticism and allegations of fraud. The government works similarly to that of the United States, the president is largely held in check by the legislature, which must approve any and all cabinet members the president wishes to appoint.

Though Seychelles boasts beautiful nature and wildlife, it struggles with massive income inequality. The Gini Index, which measure how income is distributed within society, found that Seychelles had the most income inequality of any country in the world.
