I wonder what happens to .co.uk if the UK dissolves, which seems more possible than it should be after Brexit?

There was a joke at the time:

    В связи с геополитическими изменениями домен pos.su изменяется на pos.ru.

Which roughly sounds like "because of the geopolitical changes the domain pos.su will become pos.ru". The joke is that pos.su and pos.ru in Russian sound like "will pee" and "will poo" respecitively.

TLDs based on political entities do seem like a bit of a bad idea https://eurid.eu/en/register-a-eu-domain/brexit-notice/
