Tuvalu. State flag of the country

The climate is tropical, hot and humid, with weak seasonal changes, formed under the influence of constantly blowing trade winds.

Tuvalu is a member of the British Commonwealth, but does not have the right to participate in Commonwealth conferences at the level of Heads of State and Government. Nominally, the head of state of Tuvalu is Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, represented on the islands by the Governor General. Legislative power is vested in a unicameral parliament. Parliament is elected for a term of four years and forms a government headed by a prime minister. There are no political pariahs and trade unions in Tuvalu.
