                  Background: In 1974, ethnic differences within the British
                  colony of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands caused the
                  Polynesians of the Ellice Islands to vote for separation from
                  the Micronesians of the Gilbert Islands. The following year,
                  the Ellice Islands became the separate British colony of
                  Tuvalu. Independence was granted in 1978. In 2000, Tuvalu
                  negotiated a contract leasing its Internet domain name
                  ".tv" for $50 million in royalties over the next
                  dozen years. |
