I know it's a bit bigger but see Papua New Guinea (2001:0C60::/32). I'm 
not sure if they are using it yet as I stopped providing support for PNG 
before I could roll out new router OS versions necessary to support 
IPv6. I doubt that APNIC would have a problem with Tuvalu making a case 
for a prefix.
