Joke: Understanding Maldivian political system

A joke I received from a friend. Modified to add Maldivian flavor. Read and N-joy! Son: "Dad, I have to do a special report for school.Can I ask you a question?" Father:"Sure son. What is the question?" Son: "What is Maldivian Political system?" Father:"Well. let's take our home for example. I'm the head of the family, so let's call me Government. Your mother makes the most decisions in the house ,so let's call her Majlis. We take care of your needs, so let's call you The People.We'll call the maid The Working class and your baby brother we can call The Future. Do you understand son? Son: "I'm not really sure,dad.

In 2014, I started writing a book using census and all available economic data on every atoll including data on how many uninhabited islands each atoll has. I thought that showing demographic, geographic and economic data will make people realize we need to do something about abandoning such rich resources for a congested living in Male’…. I shared the first draft with friends and mother thinking everyone will be very pleased. They weren’t happy. Major problem seemed to be - “just throwing data on people is not enough… we need to talk about some solutions. Take food security for one…..” Outline of the article 2014: Think about it? 2016: Write a
