Maldives at a glance: its flag, its capital Malé, its population and where it sits on the world map. Plus a way to test yourself afterwards.
The plain red flag of the Maldivian sultanates, used for centuries by merchant ships, gained a green border and a white crescent recalling the country’s Islamic faith at independence in 1965.
Red symbolises the blood shed by the country’s defenders, green the peace and prosperity of its palm groves.
No land border.
