Ask HN: What happens to a ccTLD when a country ceases to exist?

This question is specifically with the country of Tuvalu in mind who use the .tv domain. Due to the threat of the rising sea level the small country is at a high risk of beeing swallowed up by the ocean by the end of the century. What will happen to domains that use their top-level domain such as Twitch?

You may want to take clues from the .io domain:
