Flag of Seychelles
The flag of Seychelles is composed of five broadening oblique bands of blue, yellow, red, white and green, which extend from the hoist side of the bottom edge to the top and fly edges of the field.
Where it is
Seychelles is grouped in Eastern Africa, within Roam’s Africa region. No land neighbours are listed in the source. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Seychelles has a recorded area of 452 square kilometres. Among the 16 countries assigned to Eastern Africa in this dataset, it ranks 16 by area, from largest to smallest. Comoros is immediately above it in that ordering, at 1,862 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 122,730 people for Seychelles in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 272 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Seychellois Creole, English, and French. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Seychellois Rupee (SCR). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
