Zudem ist das Land Gründungsmitglied der SAARC (Südasiatische Vereinigung für regionale Kooperation). Die nahe gelegenen Riffe bieten den einzigen Schutz vor den manchmal heftigen Monsunstürmen. Die Inseln sind mit Palmen und Brotfruchtbäumen bewachsen und von Sandstränden und klaren Lagunen umgebenEin Drittel der maledivischen Bevölkerung lebt auf der Hauptinsel Malé, die zugleich einzige richtige Stadt der Malediven ist. Malé ist eine der am dichtesten besiedelten Städte der Welt: Auf gerade einmal 5,7 Quadratkilometern drängt sich Hochhaus an Hochhaus, um über 134.000 Menschen zu beherbergen. .

Maldives, officially the Republic of the Maldives and also referred to as the Maldive Islands, is an island nation in the Indian Ocean–Arabi Sea area, consisting of a double chain of twenty-six atolls, oriented north-south, that lie between Minicoy Island (the southernmost part of Lakshadweep, India) and the Chagos Archipelago. The chains stand in the Laccadive Sea, about 700 kilometres (430 mi) south-west of Sri Lanka and 400 kilometres (250 mi) south-west of India. Maldives' capital and largest city Malé, located at the southern edge of North Malé Atoll, had a population of 103,693. Malé is one of the Maldives' administrative divisions and, traditionally, it was the "King's Island" where the ancient Maldives royal dynasties were enthroned.
