- notRobot 3y agoThose are not ccTLDs though.
- midasuni 3y agoYes, they are. https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/gg.html https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/gg.html
- notRobot 3y agoOh, I was wrong. My bad.
- infinityio 3y agoare you sure? Wikipedia describes both as being country code tlds, and both have an official ISO 3166-1 code that matches their domain.
- infinityio 3y ago> The IANA is not in the business of deciding what is and what is not a country. The selection of the ISO 3166 list as a basis for country code top-level domain names was made with the knowledge that ISO has a procedure for determining which entities should be and should not be on that list.
