The highest imprisonment rate in the world[edit]
According to data kept by the International Centre for Prison Studies, 707 of every 100,000 Americans are in prison or in jail awaiting trial. That compares with 472 in Russia, 284 in Iran, 274 in Brazil, 210 in Mexico, 149 in England and Wales, 124 in China, 118 in Canada, 100 in France and 77 in Germany.
Only the Seychelles, an Indian Ocean archipelago, tops the United States at 709.

- Agreed-- it's remarkable that they have the largest prison pop per capita on the planet and yet that's not mentioned in the article anywhere.

Seemingly incorrect exports in graphic[edit]
The graphic in the econemy section shows the main exports of the Seychelles as being salmon and anologue computers. This sounds wildly unlikely and does not correspond with the text. I'm wondering whether the graphic has either been wrongly generated or relates to a different country? 86.13.121.19 (talk) 12:58, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
- It appears to be based on this. Rivertorch's Evil Twin (talk) 20:17, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
- That graphic is wrongly labelled, as already pointed out in Talk:Seychelles/Archive 1#Salmon?. Since it now also is outdated, I proposed it for deletion. — Sebastian 04:10, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
Dubious[edit]
This article needs some attention and fact-checking. I'm marking some particularly dubious spots. --L235 (talk) As a courtesy, please ping me when replying. 10:47, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
