About Vanuatu (VU)
Vanuatu is a Melanesian island nation in the South Pacific, an archipelago of 83 islands. Port Vila, on Efate, is the capital. Vanuatu has one of the world's highest linguistic densities with over 100 indigenous languages for a population of about 300,000. The Vanuatu Vatu (VUV) has no subdivision β all amounts are whole numbers. For developers, the VU country code and .vu domain serve Vanuatu. The +678 dialing code covers the archipelago. Vanuatu's trilingual official language requirement β Bislama (an English-based creole), English, and French β is complex for a small nation. The VUV's lack of subdivision simplifies currency formatting. Vanuatu has established a Citizenship by Investment program and has been involved in Digital Citizenship initiatives. Vanuatu's position on the Pacific Ring of Fire makes it vulnerable to natural disasters, relevant for disaster preparedness applications. The .vu domain has been used for domain hacking with various 'vu' word endings.
