abstract
  • The Republic of the Southern Indian Ocean Islands (French: République des Îles australes de l'Océan Indien) is a federal state comprised of seven island provinces comprising a total of 314 islands and countless smaller rocks, skerries, and rock reefs. Its total landsmass covers approximately 8329 km² and its population is just under 87,000. It is a semi-presidential republic with its capital in Port-aux-Français, the country's largest city. The provinces of East Kerguelen and West Kerguelen (then as the Kerguelen Islands), the Crozet Archipelago, Amsterdam Island, and Saint Paul Island gained independence from the French Republic in 1956. They were joined by the Heard Island and McDonald Islands in 1960 after they gained independence from Australia, and finally by the Prince Edward Islands in 1982 after they gained independence from South Africa. The final constitution, ratified in 1985, established the islands as a federal republic consisting of seven provinces. The Southern Indian Ocean Islands is known for being a very liberal country, having legalised abortion, euthanasia, and prostitution, whilst maintaining a very progressive drugs policy. It was the second country in the world, after the Netherlands, to legalise same-sex marriage and is known for being very LGBT friendly. The country has not outlawed the death penalty. The inhabitants mainly speak French, although the provinces of Heard Island and McDonald Islands, and Prince Edward Islands are predominantly anglophone.
