Given the ongoing flux in national boundaries and identities, this topic
is highly appropriate and the contributors gave well spoken
input.
Thank you.

So, basically, following the instructions at
http://www.iana.org/cctld/cctld-establishment-procedures-19mar03.htm,
I need to be sure I legally acquire the island from a nation for the
express purpose of running my own country (the sales agreement says I am
no longer part of them). After I establish my national government
(I held an impromptu straw-poll in the office, and we chose
"Joetopia" as the name of my island nation), I need to petition
the UN to be recognized as a nation and be listed in their report.
After that, I automatically get a 2-letter nation code and can petition
ICANN for a ccTLD of my 2-letter code. I can then choose to run .jt
(or whatever my ccTLD ends up being) from any place I desire.
Well, thanks for all the help everyone. Hopefully it broke the
day's monotony for some of you. Now I just need to sit back and
wait for those lotto winnings to roll in (ha!).

P.S.: Don't worry, I'll be sure to have plenty of redundancy in my DNS
(physically separate NS's, multiple DNS servers, power, etc.) and I
won't brook no spammers. Not from my .jt ccTLD!
