Atolls
The Maldives is an island country in the Indian Ocean consisting of low-lying coral atolls and islands, known for its turquoise lagoons, coral reefs, and tropical marine landscapes.
📍 Maldives is an island country located in South Asia, situated in the Indian Ocean southwest of the Indian subcontinent. It lies southwest of India and Sri Lanka.
As an island nation, the Maldives has no land borders and is surrounded entirely by the Indian Ocean. It consists of a chain of 26 atolls made up of over 1,000 coral islands spread across a vast area of ocean.
The Maldives is one of the lowest-lying countries in the world, with most land just a few meters above sea level. Its terrain is flat, with sandy beaches, coral reefs, and lagoons. Its location and geography make it highly vulnerable to rising sea levels but also contribute to its rich marine biodiversity. The Maldives’ position along historic Indian Ocean trade routes has influenced its culture and connections with surrounding regions.
What is an ISO Country Code?
ISO country codes come from the international standard ISO 3166 created by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). These codes are used worldwide in databases, aviation systems, banking, shipping, and international data systems to uniquely identify countries and territories.ISO 3166-1 codes are the two-letter country codes such as US, FR, or JP. These are called Level-1 ISO codes.
Only ISO 3166-1 codes support flag emojis. Flag emojis are created by combining two Unicode regional indicator letters that match the country’s ISO two-letter code.
ISO 3166-2 codes represent states, provinces, or regions. Example: US-AZ = Arizona CA-ON = Ontario Subdivision codes do not have flag emojis.
