Tuvalu is the fourth-smallest country in the world.
Info: Tuvalu, pronounced "too-VAH-loo", is an independent constitutional monarchy in the southwest Pacific Ocean. Formerly known as the Ellice Islands, they separated from the Gilbert Islands in 1975, and achieved independence from Great Britain on October 1, 1978. The country name roughly translates to "8 standing together" referring to its eight islands.[DOUBLEPOST=1356391889][/DOUBLEPOST](Tuvalu is indeed facing one!)
