I wonder how many people of almost any nationality could moderately
accurately place the Seychelles on a map? I suppose you could guess if
some small unnamed islands were present on a map but I would bet that,
say, Mauritius would stand a chance of getting the label. Not that it
really matters except to the inhabitants of the islands. People might
not mislabel Madagascar since they know it is fairly large.
