Tuvalu is a small island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and among the the poorest nations in the world.
Formerly known as the Ellice Islands, Tuvalu is a Polynesian island nation about midway between Hawaii and Australia, lying east-northeast of the Santa Cruz Islands; it gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1978.
Despite its global rankings in the world’s economy, Tuvalu is unique: it makes 10% of its annual national earnings, by leasing out the rights to dot .TV domains.
That coincidental fact has been documented in a 5 minute video, titled: “How This Island Got 10% of Their Money by Chance.”
