Proper noun

Mauritius

2. A country in the Indian Ocean, east of East Africa and Madagascar. Official name: Republic of Mauritius.
   • 2015 June 6, Catherine Bennett, “Oh, why don’t we boycott boycotts? They are pointless”, in The Guardian‎:

     Not that violence against humans is essential for a region to become boycottworthy. On the ethical consumer website’s list of “progressive boycotts”, campaigners also argue for boycotts on Alaska (wolf-killing) and Canada (for seal-killing, seafood), on Japan (whales) and Mauritius for exporting live primates.

4. The main island of the country of Mauritius.
