#43I put my IP in, and it put a blue marker way off on the left in the middle of the black... now I know it is a bit of a joke to leave New Zealand off maps, but geeze :)

#45Taiwan (Province of China) https://ipv4.dev.sarl/@zoom=10&ip=203.187.74.93 Interesting that a Taiwan IP range would be listed as "Province of China".
I think the more interesting thing is that Crimean IPs are listed as part of Russia (e.g. https://ipv4.dev.sarl/@zoom=16&ip=77.121.55.93). Practically speaking Crimea operates as province of Russia nowadays, but I believe formally/diplomatically most countries still recognize it as part of Ukraine. That's almost a reversal of Taiwan, which operates as an independent country in practice, but for formal/diplomatic purposes is considered as part of "One China".

It’s in the standard that way: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2

There are cars that are more expensive than that, so setting up a new (g)TLD is really not that difficult or expensive for any moderately large organization.
At this point, just about any random word in the dictionary has probably been made into a TLD:

#50Site is kinda dying (at least in my region of IP) but I looked up .sarl: it's like .gmbh or .ltd but French.
I was surprised that there is a TLD for sàrl, given that it is only used in some french-speaking countries. Interesting.
