Once you get used to them the islands are actually the easy ones, though. Cabo Verde and Sao Tome = west African island nations. Seychelles = northern Indian ocean nation. Comoros = west of Madagascar, also it being in the Arab league is something that always helps me remember it specifically somehow. Mauritius = east of Madagascar (edit) replied to wrong comment
