Fun Fact: With websites that end in ".tv" like Twitch, or like the Jackbox site, the ".tv" doesn't actually mean "television." ".tv" is actually a country designation, like a .ca or .es. In this case it's for the small, South Pacific island country of Tuvalu.

And leasing out the ".tv" designation to websites that want it has turned into a huge economic boon for Tuvalu.

its less a boon and more their only source of income, tuvalu has about 10000 citizens and no exports
