The Kingdom of Zeronesia is a small island country surrounded by Malada Sea. The Kingdom of Zeronesia has been under the adverse effect of climate change over the last 12 years. Currently, the Kingdom of Zeronesia is facing major hardship due to the rise of sea levels. The Kingdom of Zeronesia comprises of 114 islands in total, out of which 54 islands are extremely low-lying; hence they are generally under the water during high tide. However, the rest of the 60 islands were in habitable condition. Unfortunately, in 2016, three islands were submerged, and again in 2017, four more islands were submerged. Presently out of the 114 islands, only 53 islands are now habitable to sustain a population of 5.7 crores. Additionally, 53 islands fall short of a population of 5.7 crore people. The available resources of the Kingdom of Zeronesia are scarce for its population. Where is a scarcity of:
Facing various difficulties and fear of losing livelihood and land due to the rising sea level. Abdul and his wife Rehana decided to enter the territory The Republic of Victesia on 6 June 2017 by crossing a narrow stretch across the Malada Sea. The Republic of Victesia is also an island country, which is also surrounded by Malada sea on one side and Victoria sea on the other side. The Malada Sea is in between the Republic of Victesia and the Kingdom of Zeronesia. However, The Republic of Victesia is much bigger in size than the Kingdom of Zeronesia. The Republic of Victesia is a country of 800 islands; however, it is also under the threat of climate change. Victesia has the advantage of having islands that are quite high above sea level, protecting them from submersion for the time being. Geographically The Republic of Victesia and the Kingdom of Zeronesia are adjacent to each other. They share a mangrove forest named, Sundarbala, which is enlisted as UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Sundarbala mangrove forest is situated on the coast of the Malada Sea in between the Republic of Victesia and the Kingdom of Zeronesia. Out of which, 60% of the mangrove forest lies in the territory of the Kingdom of Zeronesia, and the rest, 40 %, lies in the territory of The Republic of Victesia Mr. Abdul and his wife reached the coast of the Malada Sea of the Republic of Victesia by a boat crossing through the Sundarbala mangrove forest. They stayed as illegal migrants from 6 June 2017 until 14 October 2021, when the immigration officers arrested them and decided to deport them to their State of Origin, the Kingdom of Zeronesia. When Abdul and their wife were arrested, they requested diplomatic intervention. Zeronesia's government requested Victesia's government to accept Abdul and his wife as climate refugees, as there are serious concerns about the survival of its citizens. It is predicted that there is a possibility that by the next ten years, there will be a rise of the sea level by two feet, which would consequentially submerge 30 habitable islands.
However, The Republic of Victesia showed concern with the current condition of the Kingdom of Zeronesia but denied Abdul and his family asylum.
