Indian Ocean island nation (10)

I believe the answer is:

seychelles

(Other definitions for seychelles that I've seen before include "Island country" , "Group of islands" , "Indian-Ocean islands" , "Indian Ocean islands" , "Island group in the western Indian Ocean" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
