This is the 2nd time I’ve heard of it—the first was 3 days ago in an article where the representative of Tuvalu at Copenhagen turned out to be some academic from Australia. So it must be some coral atoll threatened by rising sea level.

You’re right about the atoll, Sicvee.

From the World Factbook:

Population: 12,373 (July 2009 est.)
Location: Oceania, island group consisting of nine coral atolls in the South Pacific Ocean, about one-half of the way from Hawaii to Australia
Chief of State: Queen Elizabeth II, represented by Governor General Filoimea Telito
Head of State: Prime Minister Apisai Ielemia
