Tuvalu operates on Tuvalu Time (TVT), which is 12 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+12). Tuvalu does not observe daylight saving time, so the time remains consistent throughout the year.
All of Tuvalu follows the same timezone. The capital Funafuti, along with all nine islands and atolls that make up the nation, observe Tuvalu Time. Tuvalu shares the same UTC offset as New Zealand, Fiji, and Nauru.
Tuvalu is the fourth-smallest country in the world by land area, with a total land area of just 26 square kilometers. The country earns significant revenue from licensing its internet domain ".tv" to television and media companies worldwide. Tuvalu is one of the nations most threatened by rising sea levels, with its highest point only 4.6 meters above sea level.
