Island republic in the Indian Ocean whose capital is Antananarivo (10)

I believe the answer is:

madagascar

(Other definitions for madagascar that I've seen before include "foreign location" , "Part of Africa" , "Large island off the east coast of Africa" , "Island off SE Africa" , "country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
