National Geography

 * The nation states that eventually became Tuvalu were small Island territories - so in order to expand Tuvalu had to build upward and expand the borders synthetically. The actual reason as to why they chose to expand East to West more than North to South is unknown, but this has caused Tuvalu to form a sort of "belt" between the northern and southern hemispheres. As it expanded East to West it's ends eventually met and yet again instead of expanding North or South they decided instead to build upwards, overlapping previously settled territories. This is why the Nation Map represents it's borders in such a way that it does.

Many speculate that this abstract form of expansion is for religious reasons, under guidance from Wilhelm, Demented Pope of the People, they were instructed to build thusly - the exact religious purposes of building this way are unknown to this day.

Nation History
After decades of turmoil and civil war Tuvalu was officially united under Wilhelm the Demented's rule on 10th of April in the year 2008. Seeking financial support and stability Tuvalu joined a small allegiance of nations, known as the Avenguard Crusade. After a brief period, Wilhelm the Demented decided that it was Tuvalu's best interest to seek greater allies; resigning from the Avenguard Crusade on the 20th of April, 2008 to become a member nation of what was the sixth strongest alliance: Sparta. The nations within Sparta offered much to the nation of Tuvalu, transforming it from a nation that primarily manufactured various technologies export to larger nations for income, into an established, prosperous, and self-reliant nation.

In return, Tuvalu has helped to fund many spartan projects, and Wilhelm the Demented has worked closely with many spartan officials to promote Sparta's welfare and prosperity. On November 28, 2008, Wilhelm the Demented was announced as the new Deputy Ephor of Internal Affairs of Sparta after PatriotOne of Polaris' announced that he would be stepping down.

On April 5th, 2009 Tuvalu changed it's national flag from the standard flag of Sparta to that of NOIR, in order to promote greater unity within the Black Sphere. NOIR is a black team unity Optional Defense Pact with Senate and Economic sections announced on February 28, 2009.

This nuclear warhead is the first nuclear weapon developed by the Tuvaluans, it was christened by Wilhelm the Demented during a magnificent ceremony celebrating Tuvalu's anniversary. The flag waved in the sky, the royal band performed the national anthem - then, breaking a bottle of Guinness upon it's crest, he deemed it be called "Fluffy".
