Tuvalu: Difference between revisions

Tuvalu is a little country formed by a few islands that has the distinction of being one of the least populous countries in the world, after [[Useful Notes/Vatican City|Vatican City]] and [[Useful Notes/Nauru|Nauru]]. Considering the Vatican is almost like a room (complete with the fact that it’s surrounded by walls), it says a lot. Of course, Tuvalu is also one of the smallest countries in the world.

They declared independence from the United Kingdom in 1978. Like [[Useful Notes/Kiribati|Kiribati]], they are very susceptible to sea level rising and passing storms, which is understandable considering the islands are less than five meters above sea level. As a result, they're one of the countries most interested in matters pertaining to climate change, since they fear their choices are "stop climate change" or "evacuate at some point in the next few centuries". It has no official military force.
