Similar ideas where held for MD and TM but didn'y seem to work out. Furthermore, an indepent Bougainville mighs change the name to something else (as Zimbabwe did).
On reflection, I don't think .inc has played all that well either.
From ICANN's recent round of new domains:
22793 .llc 114209 .ltd 3924 .inc 23812 .gmbh The larger number in .ltd and .gmbh and .llc is likely because they don't check that you are actually incorporated and the price is about $25 or $50. For .inc they don't check either but the price is more like $2000. They're all pretty lame compared to .biz with 1.4 million, or .com with 158 million. R's, John
