Manannandrahana, officially Federal Republic of Manannandrahana (Malagasy: Repoblika Federaly Manannandrahana
French: République Féderale du Manannandrahana) is a sovereign country in East Africa bordered by the Indian Ocean and smaller islands. In recent times, the island is having major problem with corruption, famine and hyperinflation, together with a political crisis that some years ago ended in a coup d'état. Adolescent pregnancies are also a major problem in the poorest and smallest villages, with an average of 16.9 pregnancies yearly.

Most of the territory is covered by a dense jungle with high-crowned trees, aboundant vegetation and mangroves. In the east, there's a drier climate and less vegetation, mainly shrubs.

The Central, West and Northern parts of the country enjoy a tropical climate, varying between tropical moonsoon climate (Köppen: Af) and tropical savannah climate (Köppen: Aw). The Southern region has a semi-arid climate.
