What happens to TLDs when their country stops existing? (2022)

Looking forward to the death of .gov.

I'm still wondering what will eventually happen to the .io TLD

Ideally the revenue stream from sales of the TLD will flow back to the Chagos Islanders.

very interesting, .su should probably go away

.su and .ru have new registration requirements as of this year that limit their use by non-Russian citizens, so I think a big percentage of .su domains are about to go away.

.su is unlikely to go away unless some rules are changed. SU like EU and historically the UK has a special ISO registration (reserved) and ICAN allows those tlds to exist.
