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…

The three kingdoms which are united are the Kingdom of England, Scotland and Ireland, the first two by the Acts of Union 1707 [1], and Ireland added by the Acts of Union 1800 [2]. Wales is part of the Kingdom of England, under the "Laws in Wales Acts 1535 and 1542" [3]. Without Scotland, it becomes the United Kingdom of England and Northern Ireland, leaving the Kingdom of Scotland. Scotland would be assigned an ISO 3…

The constitutional position of Wales has significantly changed with the three devolution acts introduced in the last 20 years. The Wales Act 2017 in particular made the assembly/parliament permanent and Welsh law as a separate body; that means Wales is effectively its own country in the UK, on par with the other three.

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

> I guess the UK no longer exists

Meh, it will become "the United Kingdom of England and Overseas Territories" or something to that effect. UK is a brand and a symbol that Westminster will never abandon. Serbia, for example, tried really hard to remain "Yugoslavia", and if it weren't for the tensions it generates, that name would still be around.

I hope we keep it. It matches the maps I have from 7th grade.

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

What a cool site, any documentation on other operators?

What I do when looking for words is go to `/usr/share/dict/` and grep for things, for example `grep 'su$' american-english` gives me: Amaterasu Fujitsu Ginsu Ieyasu Iguassu jujitsu shiatsu tiramisu

All registered.

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.

Nah

They all went to jail after 14-15

Suddenly

All

They were used and now, like used condoms, should be properly recycled.

Like it was in 22, 33, 39

And Ukraine

Ukraine is moving forward to future

Removing .su != burning books. I will tell you opposite: we should write in history books the truth about what in realty USSR was and teach children with it so tragedies like USSR never happen again.

I agree with you about the horrors of the Soviet Union, but if you want people to know what happened, why remove a bunch of highly accessible primary sources?

In that domain literally zero sources of information

And that domain online just because of his owners greed

Huh, well that's my new thing I've learned today. I only ever heard it in conjunction with curry-type things (katsu chicken, which was always served with curry, for instance).

Well, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonkatsu

I like torikatsu better

There are many things that remind people of bad things. That's not an appropriate reason to remove them.

Demonstrating symbol of ex "country" in which there was dictatorship, occupation, annexation and genocide is act of glorification/act of paying respect of/to that "country" and its behavior.

if it offends you personally, just look the other way. do not preach to others, they may have different opinion, which is just as good as yours.
