The fourth smallest country in the world is the Tuvalu Islands set in the Pacific Ocean, between Hawaii and Australia. The population of this 26 square kilometer country is about 10,000 people, and its government is constitutionally royal, which was ruled by Queen Elizabeth II. This archipelago was considered part of British territory until 1978.
Funafuti Lagoon is one of Tuvalu’s biggest attractions and is a good place for swimming and snorkeling. However, due to the difficulty of access to these islands, tourism is not very prosperous and accounts for a small part of the income. In exchange for this stagnation, the sale and supply of stamps for collectors around the world is booming and many people are engaged in it professionally and recreationally.
Tuvalu is one of the lowest-lying countries in the world, which makes it vulnerable to sea-level rise.
Estimates indicate that this country will be completely underwater in the next 5 decades.
