The Republic of Maldives is the smallest country in Asia, located about 750 kilometres from the continent’s mainland. It is made up of 26 atolls, together containing more than 1,000 islands. It's one of the least populous and smallest Asian nations by land area, although it covers about 90,000 square kilometres if you count its waters.
