What is the name of this lowest country in the world?

This beach is located on one of the 26 atolls making up this island country in the Indian Ocean, southwest of India and Sri Lanka. It gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1965 and became a republic in 1968.

Covering roughly 35,000 square miles, it is the smallest Asian country in both land area and population. Its average ground-level elevation is just under 5 feet above sea level, making it the lowest country in the world.
