At 592,800 square kilometres (228,900 sq mi), Madagascar is the world's 46th largest country and the fourth-largest island. The country lies mostly between latitudes 12Â°S and 26Â°S, and longitudes 43Â°E and 51Â°E.
Madagascar lies 250 miles off the southeast coast of Africa and was close to two trading routes: the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. Small bands of native peoples populated the island, but none lived in close proximity to each other, and some welcomed the pirates to their shores.n 1698 the pirates of Madagascar were offered pardons, which many took, in part because squadrons of warships now patrolled the Indian Ocean and Red Sea in ever increasing numbers. Madagascar s popularity and population declined. By 1711 less than one hundred pirates remained on the island.
