Tuvalu

Tuvalu is a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean and a member of the Commonwealth realm. This means it recognizes the British monarch as its ceremonial head of state. While it is independent and governs itself, Tuvalu shares historical ties with the UK and is part of a larger community of countries that uphold shared values like democracy and development. The country faces unique challenges, particularly from rising sea levels due to climate change, which threatens its existence. Tuvalu is known for its beautiful atolls and rich culture, despite its small size and population.
