Antankarana

Antankarana is a country in eastern Africa located on the north of the island of Madagascar. The capital and largest city is Diego-Suárez, far in the north of Antankarana. Around 1.3 million of the country's population of 7.2 million people resides in the Greater Diego-Suárez Area. The sovereign state shares its only land border with Madagascar to the south. It is otherwise surrounded by the Indian Ocean, with the Mozambique Channel separating the island from the rest of Africa to the west. It is a unitary, constitutional monarchy under a semi-presidential republic. As a result of the Helsinki Peace Treaty, the country has two heads of state, the monarch and the president. Officially, both are equal, but the latter is de facto first among equals.
