It had an amusing article, very 'drole'
It talked about global warming and that the highest point in the Maldives is 1.5 metres above sea level and what they planned to do once their land was 'no more'.
The President/Prime Minister decided he wanted to put aside some tourist receipts to buy another country..... so that all the Maldivians could stay together and keep their own culture and laws.
The Economist suggested they buy Iceland!
It then went really 'spoofy' and said that those unhappy in the USA with the last election could do a similar thing and buy up a piece of Saudi Arabia in the desert to be their own country - and in Saudi they'd also have the advantage of living with like-minded people!
