At discussion here are the root DNS servers, which are at a higher level in the hierarchy than any of the ccTLD or gTLD domains. We're talking about the (.) level. e.g. www.google.com. That trailing dot is never used in a web browser, but it most certainly does exist. ccTLDs are a great idea, but somewhere around 60% of the top million websites in the world are run off of .com domains; there's no guarantee that a country could block an entire gTLD or ccTLD and successfully limit all questionable content.
