I saw a documentary on travel channel recently. Tuvalu has economic problems.

They need to build dams. Many beaches lost their sandy. Inside the island have cracks.
The airport is close for 4 months and the planes can't land because the runway is flooded. Receives only two flights a week from Fiji. The don't have tourism.
Authorities seeking funding but nobody listen.
The population is afraid of a possible tsunami.

Anyway the prices of domains are variable (premiums, regular, discounts). What matters is knowing how many domains are registered. Other gTLds or ccTLDs published stats. Are they afraid?
