Meanwhile, the Republic’s fresh<br /> water supplies have been drastically reduced by the intrusion<br /> of sea water.<br /> <br /> The Republic’s government is generally dominated by<br /> [[India]], which provides critical support to the local economy.<br /> Recently the Republic turned over all of its sea-floor<br /> development rights, on terms very favorable to India.<br /> <br /> Since the region of the Laccadive Sea around the<br /> Maldives is potentially quite rich, this move has<br /> sparked controversy both in local politics and in<br /> the world community.</div>
