  Maybe the default for businesses, but not countries. Canada.com -> Not government owned USA.com -> not government owned Germany.com -> not government owned Just some quick ones I checked, but you get the gist.

  As a Sweden .se is the de-facto domain for everything specific to Sweden. I.e. see http://sweden.com/ http://sweden.com/ vs http://sweden.se/ http://sweden.se/ Or http://www.skatteverket.se/ http://www.skatteverket.se/ vs http://www.skatteverket.com/ http://www.skatteverket.com/ for that matter. From my experience .com is the de-facto domain for international commercial entities. For my personal domain I use hultner.se
