I like #1, but won't domain squatting become even more severe with #2.a? Maybe there should be a regional prefix, e.g. us.gov, nz.gov, cn.gov.. and even this still comes with obvious issues and possible confusion. No silver bullets to be had, only tradeoffs.

That's a good point - I would be very much on board with mandating per-country TLDs, which is extra helpful because then you can deal with domain squatter through the legal system.

Not sure on what grounds nic.gov would then issue domains to disputed govts, coup d'états, ... But it wouldn't seem to hard for each govt to claim .gov.tld (.gov.us - would also be easier to pass down e.g. .az.gov.us) Fun fact, Switzerland's govt went for admin.ch (even pre .com boom times)
