Tuvalu

Tuvalu, formerly known as the Ellice Islands, is a Polynesian island nation located in the Pacific Ocean midway between Hawaii and Australia. Its nearest neighbours are Kiribati, Samoa and Fiji. Comprising 4 reef islands and 5 true atolls, with a total land area of just 26 square kilometers (10 sq mi), it is the second-least populated independent country in the world, Vatican City being the smallest. It is the smallest member by population of the United Nations. Vaiaku is a village in Tuvalu and is located on the southern coast of the island of Fongafale. All the administrative buildings and the only hotel of Tuvalu, Vaiaku Langi Hotel, are located in Vaiaku. Often it is said that Vaiaku is the capital of Tuvalu but in reality the whole atoll of Funafuti is the capital. Country Code: 688
