Wait until you see the situation in Germany. Everything uses just a normal .de domain, no special TLD for government institutions at all.

- 9dev 2y agoIt’s awful, really. Some domain names are so awfully chosen, they sound like scams. Take the government program for financial support to students, called BAföG. Here’s a bunch of domains related to that: * bafoeg.de * bafoeg-digital.de * bafoegonline.bva.bund.de Or, the worst one in my opinion: the German federal ID card has an integrated RFID chip that requires a PIN to unlock. You can use that chip to authenticate against a few government services online, which rely on the PIN as proof of identity. The PIN can be reset using a OTP sent via snail mail. Q: where you you think can you order that letter? a) Bundesdruckerei.de b) personalausweisportal.de c) pin-ruecksetzbrief-bestellen.de d) bmi.bund.de? A: yes. It’s c. Seriously.
