> There's also a third category which mostly just comprises .gov, which is the TLD used by the US government (why the US government gets access to that TLD instead of say, .gov.usa like all other countries, is for reasons beyond me).
1) gov.us exists (but not used) and 2) the DNS system was developed in the US intially for their academe and the military. For example, .arpa, which is now used for certain DNS and non-DNS management, is actually for ARPA (now DARPA).
