MU — Mauritius

Mauritius is an island nation in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar, known for its beaches, lagoons, and reefs. It has one of Africa's highest per-capita incomes and most diversified economies, with strong tourism, textiles, sugar, and financial services sectors. Port Louis is the capital and business hub. The Mauritian Rupee (MUR) uses the ₨ symbol shared with other rupee currencies. For developers, the MU country code and .mu domain (popular for domain hacking with words ending in 'mu') are used in Mauritian digital identity. Locale support includes en-MU and fr-MU for the country's bilingual environment, plus Mauritian Creole which is widely spoken. The +230 dialing code covers this relatively well-connected island nation. Mauritius' position as a financial and technology hub in the Indian Ocean makes it an important market despite its small population, with strong internet infrastructure and digital government services.
