[edit] Politics
Being the only nation that is in Earth's orbit, it often has problems being hit with all the nuclear missiles George W. Bush keeps firing at the Martians. When the Mauritian fuhrer, Keith Urban, asked Bush to stop because the missiles were hitting the country, Bush responded, "Sorry, I was aimin' at Uranus lolololol!!!11" then proceeded to attack Mauritius because, "they've got oil". This is true because Mauritius has every possible resource that comes out of their main landmark, the internet. Mauritius is currently fascist. When asked why, Fuhrer Keith Urban systematically executed the reporter. Questions about fascism have never been asked since. Well, two more reporters asked the question, but it sounds cooler to say that it has never been asked since.
[edit] Economy
Since independence in 1968, Mauritius has developed from a low-income, agriculturally based economy to a middle income diversified economy with growing industrial, financial, and tourist sectors. For most of the period, annual growth has been of the order of 5% to 6%. This has been reflected in increased life expectancy, lowered infant mortality and improved infrastructure.
Estimated at US$10,155 for 2005 at purchasing power parity (PPP),[16] Mauritius has the seventh-highest GDP per capita in Africa, behind Réunion (US$19,233 at real exchange rates),[17] Seychelles (US$13,887 at PPP), Gabon (US$12,742 at PPP), Botswana (US$12,057 at PPP), Equatorial Guinea (US$11,999 at PPP), and Libya (US$10,727 at PPP).[16] The economy is mainly dependent on sugarcane plantations, tourism, textiles, and services, but other sectors are rapidly developing as well. Mauritius, Libya, and Seychelles are the only three African nations with a "high" Human Development Index rating (Réunion, as part of France, is not listed by the UN in their Human Development Index ranking).
[edit] Population
Mauritius, despite being found in earth's orbit has been found to be cappable of sustaining life and outside of Mauritius' diverse political spectrum. It was believed to have once housed a small elderly home before it was overun and taken over by a family of ninja butlers. This same group was said to have founded ninja tea-bags and it was this group that decided to include the fabled tea-bags in their national anthem.
[edit] History
Mauritius used to be inside a volcano deep beneath Kansas. However, this proved to be a problem for the primitive Mauritians who couldn't really breathe and were often getting flamed by the volcano, with phrases such as "u luzer" and "i hat u zomg u idiot i kuld snipe u in cnter srikte". With these eruptions of flames coming more and more often, Mauritius got really pissed off and flew through the ground (no one's quite sure how) and left earth. However, before they could get out of earth's orbit, their engines died. Mauritius has been floating around the earth ever since. With everyone kind of confused about what to do, Keith Urban declared himself the fuhrer and, consequently, Pope Urban VII.
[edit] Military
There is no military for Mauritius. When they get angry, they just throw rocks down at Earth, but these get burned up in the atmosphere. As such, Mauritius is often ridiculed and ignored by most other nations. Mauritius onced tried to join the UN but Prime Minister Tony Blair replied, "Do you support the War in Iraq?" to which Fuhrer Urban replied, "Not really, no." Tony Blair then denied their request, saying, "The last thing we need is another intelligent country in the UN."
[edit] Criticism of Mauritius
The island nation of Mauritius is often criticised for Fuhrer Urban's emocaust, in which he has send all emo people to the Emo Kamps in the western part of the country. Though emo people enjoy Emo Kamps because of their enjoyment of suffering, the other nations still complain for the hell of it. Ask an American "have you ever been to Mauritius?" and their answer will be something along the lines of "Mauritius?! WTF is THAT???"
[edit] Religion
The Pope has declared the country is Catholic. Because Mauritius is in space, no one has bothered to tell them that Catholocism has been dissolved. As it looks, it is doubtful anyone cares.
