The richest country in Africa is

The African continent gives people the impression that it is synonymous with poverty and backwardness. Many people associate Africa with poverty. In fact, there are also many very rich countries on this continent. Let's analyze the richest country in Africa.

1. Seychelles Seychelles consists of 92 islands and is an archipelagic country located in the Indian Ocean in East Africa. 1On June 29th, 976, Seychelles declared its independence and established the Republic of Seychelles as a member of the Commonwealth. More than half of the whole territory is a nature reserve and has the reputation of "tourist paradise".

Seychelles' economy is underdeveloped and most of its income depends on the consumption of inbound tourists. Seychelles' industrial base is relatively weak, and agriculture accounts for only about 30% of the economy. Therefore, more than 70% of Seychelles' economic income comes from tourism.

Seychelles has a land area of 455.39 square kilometers and a population of 96,800. The climate is characterized by only two seasons in a year, hot season and cool season. Seychelles has no winter. Therefore, Seychelles belongs to the tropical rain forest climate, which is a typical tropical rain forest climate with high temperature and rain.

Seychelles is equivalent to a huge natural botanical garden, with more than 500 species of plants, of which more than 80 species are unique to the world. Among them, Al Dabboura Island is a famous turtle island, where tens of thousands of big turtles live, while Fregat Island is an "insect world", Kongsen Island is a "bird paradise", and Ige Island is rich in colorful shells.

What is the economic level of Seychelles?

One of the economic characteristics: Seychelles has a high per capita GDP. According to IMF data, Seychelles' economic aggregate in 20 19 was16.5 billion USD, or about RMB/kloc-0.8 billion Yuan, which was equivalent to the economic aggregate of Gaobeidian, a county-level city in Hebei Province. The per capita GDP of Seychelles in 20 19 is 16923 USD, which is equivalent to RMB1/0800 Yuan; The per capita GDP of Gaobeidian is 13885 yuan, but the population is around 570,000, while the population of Seychelles is less than 65,438+10,000.

The second economic feature: Seychelles has a superior living environment. Seychelles, Maldives and Hairball are called "three pearls" in the Indian Ocean. It has the world's top seawater, beaches and hotels, and is recommended by National Geographic as one of the 50 must-see places in life. For example, British soccer superstar David Beckham and British Prince William both chose this place as their holiday destinations. Seychelles is known as the last "Garden of Eden" in the world, and it has also been rated as the number one air quality in the world by Yale University. At the same time, it is also recognized by the United Nations as the country with the highest human development index in Africa and the most suitable for human life.

Seychelles is very strict in the protection of "Jinshan Yinshan" and "Qingshan Green Water". Anyone who cuts down a tree must report to the Ministry of Environment for approval, especially in the sea area of Ocean Park. In order to protect tropical fish, Seychelles people prohibit fishing, and local people will also discourage tourists from picking up shells, because Seychelles people think that "shells-plankton-shrimp-small fish-big fish" has formed a biological chain, which is why Seychelles has an excellent natural environment and, of course, superhuman welfare.

The third economic feature: free education and medical care in Seychelles. Seychelles has combined primary and secondary schools into a nine-year system and implemented free and compulsory education (free lunch is provided every day). 90% of children under the age of four can attend kindergarten, which is compulsory for children over the age of five and children from grade one to grade nine.

Seychelles implements free medical services, including medicines and all treatment costs. Seychelles nationals can also receive public transportation subsidies, and most public services such as culture, sports and water supply are also subsidized to a certain extent. Therefore, Seychelles' health budget has always ranked second among all the departmental budgets in Seychelles.

The fourth economic feature: Seychelles society is essentially a matriarchal society. Mother dominates the family. Mothers are responsible for raising children and controlling family income. Although Seychelles requires fathers to bear the responsibility of raising children by law, they are often only responsible for providing sources of income and often lack the responsibility of fathers in family roles. Therefore, unmarried mothers are often the norm in Seychelles society.

Seychelles has implemented an "amazing" welfare system under the matriarchal society. Seychelles can be said to be a very good welfare country, where residents can get the minimum living security, especially the level of security is much higher than the average wage in most countries, which is very rare in African countries. Seychelles has also formulated a lifelong health care system and a comprehensive employment plan, and distributed various relief funds to low-income people.

The fifth economic feature: beautiful environment, known as "Xanadu". Seychelles has unique animals and plants in the world. Bo Huaron in Seychelles is the top three beaches in the world. Its soft beaches and green waters attract hundreds of thousands of European rich people to make pilgrimages here every year. Victoria, the capital of Seychelles, is called "Xanadu" by many tourists.

Seychelles people are mostly Creoles with different skin colors, including white, black, brown, yellow and red. Seychelles people call themselves Creoles regardless of their skin color.

Creole, which means "mixed", generally refers to a language that is simplified by mixing Portuguese, English, French and African languages. The languages spoken in the southern United States, the Caribbean and some parts of West Africa are also collectively called Creole. Creoles who speak these languages are usually a mixture of generations, and Seychelles' ancestors came from non-Eurasia. Therefore, in Seychelles, people of different colors and religions live in harmony, and ordinary people live a leisurely life.

It is worth mentioning that Mauritius's diplomatic work is excellent, because Mauritius pursues a neutral, non-aligned and all-round opening policy. Mauritius not only handled diplomatic relations with neighboring countries, but also handled diplomatic relations with Europe and the United States very well, which can be described as exquisite. Mauritians believe that if "making enemies on all sides" is not conducive to economic growth, this pragmatic foreign policy ensures the long-term economic development of Mauritius.
