According to a CNN piece from two years ago [1] Tokelau gets 1/6th of its economy from .tk domains, but it's GDP is only $1.2m. Compare that to Tuvalu, which according to this NYTimes piece first negotiated a deal worth $50m over 12 years, but now gets around $2m a year.
If I haven't screwed up my sums, that works out to roughly $150/person for Tokelau compared to $200/person for Tuvalu
(Population TK 1,300, from CNN piece. TV 10,000 from NYT piece)
