Tuvalu is about 26 square kilometres of land in 750,000 square kilometres of the south Pacific, one of the smallest countries on Earth, and it is almost all atoll: rings of coral islets a few metres above the sea. Each of its inhabited atolls has its own island council, the Falekaupule, so the island is the unit that an election, a ferry and a school are all counted in.
Each atoll is drawn as its land grown a little, because the islets that make it up are slivers a few hundred metres wide that would not be there to point at. The shapes are therefore larger than the land, and the sea between them is real: the chain runs about 600 kilometres from the first island to the last.
The map has eight answers, not nine. The ninth island, Niulakita, lies far to the south and is administered together with Niutao, so the data this game is drawn from has no outline of its own for it.
The three groups are the way the country is usually described, not an administrative tier. They give you a way to learn the chain a piece at a time.
Funafuti is a ring of islets around a lagoon some 25 kilometres across. The capital's government buildings and the airport sit on Fongafale, the largest islet, in the south east of the ring.
Nanumea is the northernmost atoll and the furthest from the capital. It is drawn as two pieces, because its land is split by a channel.
Eight, one for each of the eight island councils. Niulakita, the ninth island, is administered with Niutao.
The land of an atoll is a thin ring of islets. Each island is drawn with its land grown a little so there is something to tap.
No. They are how the chain is usually described, and are here to help you learn it a piece at a time.
