The Republic of Maldives is Asia’s smallest nation, located in the Indian Ocean southwest of Sri Lanka. It is an archipelago of approximately 1,190 islands, only 200 of which are inhabited. The population of Maldives is 340,000 people. The official religion is Sunni Muslim.
After being occupied by Portugal and being both a Dutch and British protectorate, the Republic of Maldives became an independent nation in 1965 and a presidential republic in 1968. However, it was not until the formation of a new constitution in 2008 that the Maldives had their first democratically-elected president in a multi-party, multi-candidate election. The president is both the chief of state and the head of government.
Due to climate change, the rising sea levels are a growing concern for the Maldives. This could greatly impact the nation since approximately 80 percent of the land area is one meter or less above sea level.
With its tropical climate and many resort islands, the Maldives is an increasingly popular tourist destination, welcoming millions of tourists every year.
