Country code top-level domain - Wikipedia
10 hours 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.

Are domain names with country codes good?
If you don't know about those local markets, I would not speculate in them. But yes, these can have value. Those gambling domains sell for a lot there because those are regulated online gambling markets where online gambling is a big business. In America, we don't really use .us so we don't have an appreciation for this but in a lot of countries, their country code is roughly the same as .com in popularity. So location-relevant domains can have value there. As I said, best not to start guessing if you don't know the market. More on reddit.com

Eli5: Why do some nations use an Internet address suffix derived from their English name and others use the native nation name?

Most of the top level country domains, (such as .de or .tw) were (mostly) directly taken from earlier assigned two-letter country codes used in other international things, such as banking, and were defined and agreed upon international standards. Generally, these two letter codes were derived from the English names, but there are lots exceptions.

You can look at all the top level domains here and see its a pretty jumbled bag between english language names and not as there are plenty of english and plenty of ones that are in local languages or other changes. Only a few countries had "issues" with their codes, notably, the UK's assigned two-letter codes in previous international standards is generally gb, but for the country domain, they decided to use .uk
