The Maldives are the single most interesting country I have ever visited. I had bought cheap airfare on a whim after watching a documentary on how global warming was flooding the island nation. The country’s president grimly predicted that his entire country would be underwater within 20 years. I had to go now; it didn’t look like I would have a second chance.
The Maldives are a nation of contrast. It is simultaneously the preferred vacation destination of flashy billionaires as well as an Islamic state that forbids the import of alcohol and pork. It is made up of 1,000+ picturesque islands but is currently plagued by political unrest as an up-and-coming liberal party is publicly rebelling against the dominant militaristic political party.
