Maldives is classified as a LDC. There are several reasons for this. The country was a sultanate for the Dutch and then the British and only achieved independence in 1968. Since then it has been a republic, but not very democratic. The country also have to import most of its staple foods, and relies primarily on the tourism and fishing industries.
The United Kingdom has a well established government, and a good supply of resources as well as a diversified economy.
