Mauritius is a unitary parliamentary republic with a president as head of state, elected by the parliament. The country attained it's independence from Great Britain in 1968. English and French are both equally important in Mauritius as the country's main languages used in government administration, courts and businesses.

The main economical branches in Mauritius are tourism, sugar industry and the textile industry. In recent times, the financial services sector has been actively developed, which is why Mauritius has been added to the European Union's blacklist of tax havens.
