Economy Business |
Government revenues largely come from sales of fishing licenses, income from the Tuvalu Trust Fund, and from the lease of its highly fortuitous .tv Internet Top Level Domain (TLD). According to news.com.au, with some of the money earned in the .tv deal, Tuvalu was finally able to afford the $100,000 it cost to join the United Nations.
