This small island nation is among those most seriously
affected by the slow rise in sea level over the past century.
The highest point in the country is just over a yard above
the current sea level. Meanwhile, the Republic’s fresh
water supplies have been drastically reduced by the intrusion
of sea water.

The Republic’s government is generally dominated by
[[India]], which provides critical support to the local economy.
Recently the Republic turned over all of its sea-floor
development rights, on terms very favorable to India.

Since the region of the Laccadive Sea around the
Maldives is potentially quite rich, this move has
sparked controversy both in local politics and in
the world community.
