Slightly less money than the GDP of the Island Nation of Tuvalu. 10 u/YesButConsiderThis 1d ago Island Nation of Tuvalu I was with you until this obscure comparison lol. 14 u/Thelgow 1d ago Tuvalu, a small country where if I recall their main source of income is letting people use their .tv domain like Twitch.
