TV — Tuvalu

Tuvalu is a tiny Polynesian island nation in the South Pacific, one of the world's smallest and most remote countries. Funafuti atoll is the capital. Tuvalu consists of nine atolls with a total land area of just 26 square kilometers and a population under 12,000. It uses the Australian Dollar. For developers, the TV country code and .tv domain are tremendously significant — the .tv ccTLD was sold to a marketing company for millions of dollars and generates a substantial portion of Tuvalu's national income, used by television networks, streaming services, and media companies worldwide (twitch.tv, etc.). The +688 dialing code serves Tuvalu. The .tv domain success story is perhaps the most famous example of ccTLD monetization — the revenue from .tv domain sales funds approximately 10% of Tuvalu's government budget. Tuvalu is one of the countries most threatened by climate change and rising sea levels. The country's digital legacy through its .tv domain far outpaces its physical footprint.
