The Agalega Islands are two islands in the Indian Ocean, lying 1,100 km (700 miles) north of Mauritius. The islands, goverened by Mauritius, have a total area of 70 km².
The North Island is home to the islands' airstrip and the capital of Vingt Cinq and village of La Fourche, while the South Island has the village of Sainte Rita.
The islands are known for their coconuts, the production of which is the main industry, and for the Agalega Island Day Gecko. At one time, no coinage circulated on the islands; all payment was by government-issued vouchers and debited directly from the inhabitants' salaries.
