Given the ongoing flux in national boundaries and identities, this
topic is highly appropriate and the contributors gave well spoken input.
Thank you.

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!
