If anyone is interested, registering a domain is $29.99/year and requires the submission of an identity document (passport, driver's license, etc).
Where did you find a price like that? I own one and I pay like 3$ a year. However ID indeed is required.
how does a link like this gets to the front page of hn?
It's interesting because it's still in use, even though the Soviet Union doesn't exist. ICANN hasn't been successful in forcing the retirement. Compare to the .cs TLD for Czechoslovakia which was phased out and replaced with new TLDs.
I wonder what the most exclusive tld is . probably .gov or .mil
Probably one of the corporate ones like .xyz, .amazon, .bananarepublic, etc.
Anyone know of English words that we can use to make a 'domain hack'[0] out of this? [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_hack

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 United Kingdom bit comes from joining together the Scottish and English crowns, it wouldn't be affected by whatever happens to Northern Ireland.
"The medieval conquest and subsequent annexation of Wales by the Kingdom of England, followed by the union between England and Scotland in 1707 to form the Kingdom of Great Britain, and the union in 1801 of Great Britain with the Kingdom of Ireland created the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland."

I don't think ICANN should retire a domain namespace just because a political entity that it used to represent no longer exists. Cool URIs don't change [1]. [1] https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI.html
