I hope we will NOT keep it. It reminds me how my country was occupied and annexed by Soviet Union.

Is that the country where they have torch marches in the capital? Neonazi torch march in Kiev, Ukraine: https://youtu.be/tHhGEiwCHZE

The "Neonazi" country you refer to simultaneously had a head of state and a head of government who were Jewish until a couple of months back.

If Scotland leaves, I imagine we'll switch from "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" to "The United Kingdom of Britain and Northern Ireland", thus keeping the "uk". ".scot" already exists. If Northern Ireland leaves, I guess the UK no longer exists, and we switch to ".gb". Could clone .uk at .gb for a while (ten years?) and give people time to switch, but seems more likely Nominet would prefer t…

Wales has .cymru and .wales.

Neither of those are two letter TLDs.

.gle - owned by Google and only for Google properties

Assigned to Google, but I could not find any examples of it actually being used unlike .google

They use it for Google Form/Survey short links.

How was it used?

I'm guessing that's Australia.

Correct. Fun fact: For many years after the rest of Melbourne University moved to unimelb.edu.au the computer science department kept the domain cs.mu.oz as a nod to that history (and that they were one of the first institutions in the world to be part of the fledgling internet). I was a little sad to see that quirky disappear.

If there were a .nazi TLD, would there be debate about how proper it is?

Depends on how it was used. Holocaust museum? OK. Michigan Militia. Nope.

Imagine if the Confederate states had had a TLD. What do you think, what kind of people would be using it nowadays?

No,the usual suspects - Russian Nazi March in Moscow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP2o13mxRpo Or https://www.latimes.com/world/europe/la-fg-russia-neonazi-20...

That was in 2011. Since that time Putin has been cracking down on Russian nationalists - some got jailed for real crimes they committed, the number of participants in so called "Russian Marches" went down from 10000 to less than 500, number of hate crimes has been similarly reduced.

The Ukraine is moving in the opposite direction.

They were playing with fire.

I am from Georgia, not Ukraine. First of all they are Nationalists, not Nazists. I am not supporting nationalist too but anyway that is very different terms even if they can sound similarly. Second I am pretty sure you can find hundreds of real nazist in any country. But even if we suppose that people on video are nazist making inference about country based on minority is very big mistake.

That's much more serious than that.

Neo-nazi batallion integrated in the Ukrainian army [0].

The Mirotvorets site (Peacekeeper in Ukrainian, what an Orwellian name), curated by Ukrainian successor to KGB, publishing personal information of "enemies of the Ukraine" including journalists, some of which later got murdered [1].

Streets named after Nazi collaborators who are called heroes now.

No. The official TLD – i.e. “Top Level Domain”, is .uk. It differs from the normal ISO 3166 two-character country code, GB, even though most other countries have an identical TLD and ISO two-character code. The TLD .gb is merely reserved to deter shenanigans.

Both .GB and .UK are the country code top-level domains; .GB because that's the official code, and .UK for legacy reasons. UK is a reserved ISO 3166 code, to prevent complications with DNS TLD assignment. The .GB TLD is in use, but there are only three known domains. This is one: host hermes.dra.hmg.gb hermes.dra.hmg.gb has address 146.80.9.16 hermes.dra.hmg.gb mail is handled by 10 relay.dstl.gov.uk.

There were some mil.gb domains at one point.
