National and Political Boundaries

The country of Madagascar is an island so the land that is on the coast would make up the political and national boundaries. The island is surrounded by the Indian Ocean on sides. These boundaries would not change over time since the country has always consisted of the whole island. This might help make things not as complicated with boundary issues since it is an island. The island has been introduced to religions because of the people that have explored the island in the past. This has most likely affected the culture of these people when Christianity and Islam were introduced to the people.
