About the Maldives
The Maldives, officially the Republic of Maldives, is an island nation consisting of a group of atolls in the Indian Ocean. The Maldives is located south of India's Lakshadweep islands, and about seven hundred kilometres south-west of Sri Lanka. The name "Maldives" may derive from Maale Dhivehi Raajje. The twenty-six atolls of Maldives' encompass a territory featuring 1,192 islets, two hundred and fifty islands of which are inhabited. In terms of size, Maldives has a total area of 300 sq km which is about 1.7 times the size of Washington, DC. The Maldives was long a sultanate, first under Dutch and then under British protection. It became a republic in 1968, three years after independence. Since 1978, President Maumoon Abdul GAYOOM - currently in his sixth term in office - has dominated the islands' political scene. The population of Maldives is approximately 379,174 . The population density of it is 1,105/sq km. It has a population growth rate of 2.69%. Most of Maldives's people belong to Sunni Muslim religion. The official and most common language of those people is Dhivehi. Tourism, Maldives' largest industry, accounts for 28% of GDP and more than 60% of the Maldives' foreign exchange receipts. Over 90% of government tax revenue comes from import duties and tourism-related taxes. Fishing is the second leading sector. Maldives's gross domestic product (GDP) as of 2007 estimate is approximately $1.588 billion with GDP of $4,600 per capita.
