One of the Smallest Countries in the World

Tuvalu is the fourth smallest country by land area and second smallest by population, with around 11,000 people living on just 26 square kilometers of land.

Made Up of Nine Tiny Islands

Tuvalu consists of nine low-lying coral atolls and reef islands, spread out in the central Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and Australia.

At Risk from Rising Sea Levels

Due to its low elevation (most parts lie only a few meters above sea level), Tuvalu is highly vulnerable to climate change and could become uninhabitable in the future.

A Member of the Commonwealth

Tuvalu is a constitutional monarchy, recognizing the British monarch as head of state, and is part of the Commonwealth of Nations.

Internet Fame from .tv Domain

Tuvalu earns significant revenue by leasing its country domain code “.tv”, which is popular among streaming platforms and content creators.

No Armed Forces

Tuvalu has no standing military, relying on other nations, primarily Australia and New Zealand, for defense and international support.

Funafuti – The Capital Atoll

The capital, Funafuti, is a narrow strip of land with an airstrip, government buildings, and a lagoon that makes up most of the atoll’s area.

Traditional Polynesian Culture

Tuvaluans maintain strong Polynesian traditions, including music, dance (fatele), and communal living.

Difficult to Reach

Tuvalu is one of the least visited countries in the world, with limited flight access, making it a remote and tranquil destination for adventurous travelers.

Solar-Powered Nation

Tuvalu is investing in renewable energy, aiming to become one of the world’s first fully solar-powered countries.
