Call it Monday Boredom, if you will, but a funny DNS question just =
popped into my head: if I were to, say, win the lotto and buy my own =
Island (which, of course, would technically be its own country), would I =
be able to receive a ccTLD for said island nation?  Kind of like =
.joejohnsonisland  or .jji?

If so, would the DNS have to be actually contained inside of said =
island?  I think not, as it was mentioned earlier that .iq was run from =
Texas, but it's always good to ask.
