Wasn't this the place that sold its right to using the domain names to a
private company?

I think the island only has 1 PC, 20 people and a friendly goat and the sale
of their domains became their biggest national export.

Actually, heres a quote from the register about it:
"
More recently, the island of Tuvalu sold the rights to its .tv domain name
to a Canadian broadcaster for $60,000
"

Their response to looking for a .tv domain:

"External access to the .tv whois database is restricted.
For this reason, a dns lookup has been used to establish
that this name is in use and, therefore, registered."

Poo.
