Islands to vote for separation from the Micronesians of the Gilbert 
Islands. The following year, the Ellice Islands became the separate 
British colony of Tuvalu. Independence was granted in 1978. In 2000, 
Tuvalu negotiated a contract leasing its Internet domain name ".tv" 
for $50 million in royalties over the next dozen years.
