A manmade archipelago off the coast of the UAE, called “The World.” It will resemble a small map of the world.

This is “The World”, an archipelago of man-made islands just off the coast of Dubai. They’re selling for huge amounts of money, to the wealthy. Rumours that Brangelina bought Ethiopia are unfounded.
