At current pace the MTPD predicts Maldives with finish seventh on the list when voting ends in November 2011.

A world wonder where its owners do not get to enjoy the wonderfulness.... A country enjoyed by a few politicians and elite families and newly hardcore religious fanatics. The rest are taken for a ride. The award will help a slogan for Maldives like "value for money". "Blonds and Blue" "Heat and Beat" "Beaches and Babes" 🙂
