Maldives
The 1,190 islands of the Maldives have their inception retained a degree of autonomy enviable within Asia. With riches of the sea like pearls and cowry shells, international trade has always been a Maldives product. Persian traders back in the 11th century are considered responsible for converting the entire population to Sunni Islam. From that point until recent times the Maldives were ruled by a series of 84 Sultans of six dynasties, their authority only once challenged by a 15 year Portuguese rule in the 16th century. A British Dependency during the 1800’s, the Maldives remained a sultanate until 1968, when the Huraage Dynasty gave way to the democratic Republic of the Maldives.
