Mauritius is a 720 sq mile island situated in the Indian Ocean. It has a population of about a million, made up of various racial backgrounds: Indian, African, European and Chinese. Those of Indian descent belong to the Hindu and Muslim faiths; those of African and European descent belong to the Roman Catholic faith (by and large), as do most of the people of Chinese origin. The economy rests on the export of sugar and tobacco, making the country an agricultural one. Diversification of the economy is under way.
