So, basically, following the instructions at =
http://www.iana.org/cctld/cctld-establishment-procedures-19mar03.htm, I =
need to be sure I legally acquire the island from a nation for the =
express purpose of running my own country (the sales agreement says I am =
no longer part of them). After I establish my national government (I =
held an impromptu straw-poll in the office, and we chose "Joetopia" as =
the name of my island nation), I need to petition the UN to be =
recognized as a nation and be listed in their report. After that, I =
automatically get a 2-letter nation code and can petition ICANN for a =
ccTLD of my 2-letter code. I can then choose to run .jt (or whatever my =
ccTLD ends up being) from any place I desire.
Well, thanks for all the help everyone. Hopefully it broke the day's =
monotony for some of you. Now I just need to sit back and wait for =
those lotto winnings to roll in (ha!).

P.S.: Don't worry, I'll be sure to have plenty of redundancy in my DNS =
(physically separate NS's, multiple DNS servers, power, etc.) and I =
won't brook no spammers. Not from my .jt ccTLD!
