The Maldives
Malé is the capital and most populous city in the Republic of Maldives.
Although Malé is geographically located in Kaafu Atoll, administratively it is not considered part of it. The central part of the city is formed by the island of Malé. Three more islands form part of the city. A commercial harbour is located on Malé Island and serves as the heart of all commercial activities in the country.
The central island is heavily urbanized, with the built-up area taking up essentially its entire landmass. Slightly less than one third of the nation’s population lives in the capital city, and the population has increased from 20,000 people in 1987 to 100,000 people in 2006. Many, if not most, Maldivians and foreign workers in Maldives find themselves in occasional short term residence on the island since it is the only entry point to the nation and the centre of all administration and bureaucracy.
This map is almost entirely covered in water, and is home to a few small islands upon which to build your city. It is possible to play this map using only 9 tiles, however the game starts at the northern end of the reclaimed islands that make up the Airport and new housing developments.
If you want to recreate the dense island metropolis of Malé, all the tools are there.
While the map itself is relatively simple, it follows the geography of the Maldivian capital as accurately as I could get it using MS Paint and Google.
