since a few decades have passed, Tuvalu is growing and all of its atolls and reef islands have doubled their sizes, while Funafuti has tripled in size. More people of the other atolls and reef islands are moving to Funafuti. Now, Funafuti has almost 8,000 people, while the other islands have around 1,000 to 300 people, soon more people from other island countries in Polynesia will go to Tuvalu. Soon, Tuvalu will be the biggest island country in Polynesia!
