I think 2 letter country code domain names are bullshit.

I think 2 letter country code domain names are bullshit.
if those were the only geographic TLDs then sure. but we have stuff like.asia, and cities like.cologne. they all get full words.
why aren't country TLDs like that.
and also they shouldn't be in English. we shouldn't have.se, it should be.sverige. we shouldn't have.de, it should be.deutschland. we probably should have.tvbut it should've been generic and Tuvalu should get.tuvalu. another bullshit example is.catlike why is that abbreviated. call it.catalanand let.catbe open to the general public..eushould maybe just be called that? since.europawould not be quite the same? and it's officially called "The EU" in many contexts, it's not just some arbitrary definition to fit into a homogenous system of 2 letter identifiers. although honestly it should still just be.europa. and we should have.europebe a dname alias. browsers will love that.
two letter codes are often just subject to domain hacks which sucks because we're just using a national registry as if it was a generic registry. the two letter domains should just be generic to begin with ..nuis literally managed by the internet fountain in Sweden and its used as a generic Swedish language TLD. and I'm fine with that existing with this use, but it shouldn't have ever been assigned to Niue! it should've just been officially generic to begin with!
and I'm not the only one who holds this opinion!!! Google's search algorithm discriminates based on TLDs (you won't get many Norwegian local businesses if you're located in france), but it treats.nuas a generic domain because that's what it's being used as and that's what it should've always been, and it's only on paper officially supposed to represent Niue. Google agrees with me that.nuand many others should just be generic!!! -
