They're in a position to get their own TLD (e.g .tgrm - edited from .tg); they should probably do this and run their own supporting infrastructure for it at this point.

- RA2lover 2mo agotwo-letter TLDs are reserved for country codes and not available for private use.
- esseph 2mo agoNot available for private use isn't exactly true...
- booi 2mo agowhich 2 letter TLDs are not controlled by states?
- fragmede 2mo agoSupposedly none because they're only given to states, but there're a few that have some murky administrative situations.

- KomoD 2mo agoWell, almost all of them are ultimately controlled by the nations, but there are quite a few that private companies operate because they've paid the nation to gain control. But then there's .io (and a few others: .ac, and previously .sh, .tm) where they were actually delegated to a British guy and are now controlled by the private company he started. And according to the British government, they have no agreement with the company, and they receive no revenue from the domain registrations.
- esseph 2mo agoYou changed the topic. I said available for private use.
- aloisklink 2mo ago2 letter TLDs/country-code TLDs, are determined by ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes, and having a country code doesn't necessarily mean a country or a state. There are a bunch on there that I wouldn't consider states, e.g. both UN/EU are exceptionally reserved and have `.un` and `.eu`. Antarctica also has `.aq`. The Heard Island and McDonald Islands has `.hm`, and it's not a state (since it has no population) but I guess it is controlled by Australia.
