Geografi: Østat i Oceanien i Stillehavet, tidligere Ellice øerne. Nabostater Fij og Kiribati.
Tuvalu Øgruppen består af seks ægte atoller og tre ørev. De faktiske atoller er Funafuti, Nanumea, Nui, Nukufetau, og Nukulaelae, mens Nanumaga, Niulakita, og Niutao er enkelte øer.
De sidste tre har små saltvandsdamme, mens Nanumea har en friskvandsdam, usædvanligt for en atol.

På grund af de britiske og amerikanske kongregationalist missionærindsats i Polynesien i løbet af 1700 og 1800, er der stadig et stort antal medlemmer i den historisk kongregationalisk, menighedsrådsstyrede kirkes organer. / The Church of Tuvalu is Congregational. Owing to the British and American Congregationalist missionary efforts in Polynesia during the 1700s and 1800s, there are still large numbers of members in the historically Congregational bodies.
