The king was extremely angry from his son and had sent him away to Maldives, then called Dheeva Maari. The prince established Adeetta Dynasty in Maldives.

Along the tourists, we have seen there maaaaany families, people celebrating their bachelorette parties and more. But heck, you can even go in the Maldives by yourself!

As the nation is at the lowest level, it always has to worry about the chances of it sinking, especially because of the drastic changes in the climate that are happening continuously.
