Tuvalu Lot

Tuvalu is a Polynesian island nation in the central Pacific, comprising nine low-lying coral islands and atolls surrounded by lagoons and ocean reefs. Its predominantly Tuvaluan population speaks Tuvaluan and English, with community life rooted in extended families, Christianity, and traditions of music and dance. The tropical climate brings year-round warmth, while rising seas pose serious challenges to its limited land area. Formerly the Ellice Islands, Tuvalu gained independence from Britain in 1978 and is a parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy.
