  have you seen the Italian and Japanese section of that document? Italy registered subdomains for all its regions and provinces, including spelling variations. All of the following domains are for the same region: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trentino-Alto_Adige/S%C3%BCdtirol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trentino-Alto_Adige/S%C3%BCdti... trentin-sud-tirol.it trentin-süd-tirol.it trentin-sudtirol.it trentin-südtirol.it trentin-sued-tirol.it trentin-suedtirol.it trentino-a-adige.it trentino-aadige.it trentino-alto-adige.it trentino-altoadige.it trentino-s-tirol.it trentino-stirol.it trentino-sud-tirol.it trentino-süd-tirol.it trentino-sudtirol.it trentino-südtirol.it trentino-sued-tirol.it trentino-suedtirol.it trentino.it trentinoa-adige.it trentinoaadige.it trentinoalto-adige.it trentinoaltoadige.it trentinos-tirol.it trentinostirol.it trentinosud-tirol.it trentinosüd-tirol.it trentinosudtirol.it trentinosüdtirol.it trentinosued-tirol.it trentinosuedtirol.it trentinsud-tirol.it trentinsüd-tirol.it trentinsudtirol.it trentinsüdtirol.it trentinsued-tirol.it trentinsuedtirol.it

    Sure. They need to ensure, that no South-Tyrolian registers those officially looking ones. After the 2nd world war Italy just invaded south tyrol/now trentino because they mixed up the capitulation date. They still speak tyrolian there, but belong officially to Italy.

    Yes, but this has a system, where I don't get "0.bg, 1.bg, 2.bg, ..."

Yes, that's the list I had in mind. So it's not a normative document, but an empirical document maintained by volunteers. The introduction tells what is the difference between a domain (registered by one entity) and a subdomain (any number can be created by the same entity): If a website sets cookies for something above their domain, e.g. co.uk or org.eu the cookie would be valid on other entities' websites. Browsers use this list to prevent that. eu.org and it's non-registerable subdomains are correctly listed. As a whole this looks a bit fragile, depending on volunteer work. Or you could say positively good old internet style: No single government or company controlling it.

  Agree it is fragile, and indeed since there's no authority there's no authority to ask. The likes of uk.com and others owned by Centralnic have been around a while. I've never been sure what to call these since they aren't (as in top) TLDs.
