people forget the fact that countries can break up in the future

example: what happen if canada break up into 2 different state that want to their unique tld???? also what happen to current .ca ??? do you migrate all that domain and .ca ceased to exist????

internet is faily new in terms of human history (30+ years) while countries or kingdom has been ceased to exist and "rebrand" all the time

its not so simple to just put on "acronym" countries name

		> I cant imagine nation have enough power that can keep these thing for years just for historical standpoint .su is one such domain. The Soviet Union of course no longer exists, but .su continues on. ICANN has told Russia they want to phase it out by 2030 (after Russia more or less refused to shut it down in the 90s), but who knows if that will happen. .su even still accepts new domain registrations! I think you can predict the average kind of people who wants a .su domain, though...
