Buford is located in Laramie County, Wyoming, USA, off Interstate 80, about 40 kilometers south of the state capital, Cheyenne. The town is famous for having the smallest resident population in the United States - in 2010, there was only one person left (and then it became uninhabited for a time), and was certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the "least populated incorporated town in the United States". Dating back to the 1860s, the town prospered as a railroad supply depot and then declined as transportation routes changed. Today, the town's landmarks include a grocery store, gas station, and a historic beacon that was sold to a Vietnamese businessman for $900,000 in 2013, making it a "lonely landmark" for tourists. Despite having zero permanent residents, the town attracts thousands of visitors each year to experience the wilderness and serenity of the vast state of Wyoming.
Muli Maldives is not a separate country or city, but a common phonetic alias for Malé, the capital of the Republic of Maldives. The Maldives is an archipelago country located in the Indian Ocean, consisting of 26 atolls and 1,192 coral islands, known for their tropical beaches, crystal clear waters and luxury resorts.
With an area of approximately 1.96 square kilometers, Male is one of the smallest capital cities in the world, but concentrates the functions of the country's political, economic and cultural center. Located in the North Male Atoll, the city enjoys a tropical monsoon climate, which is warm and humid throughout the year, with an average temperature of 25-30°C. The city is also home to a number of other major international organizations.
Malé is a blend of Islamic tradition and modern urbanism, with landmarks such as the Friday Mosque and the Presidential Palace. The local economy is centered on tourism, with global connectivity through the airport island and international airport, as well as dependence on fishing and shipping.
As the gateway to the Maldives, Male offers local cultural experiences such as fish and handicraft markets, while the surrounding islands attract visitors with overwater villas, dive sites and coral reef ecology, making it a popular destination for honeymoons and eco-tourism.
