.club tld also had issues: https://www.thestack.technology/club-domain-tld-outage/

tld can be removed if a country is no longer around, https://superuser.com/questions/1646372/can-top-level-domains-disappear-if-countries-cease-to-exist-malfunction

also good read: https://www.hezmatt.org/~mpalmer/blog/2024/02/13/not-all-tlds-are-created-equal.html

tip of the day: stay away from funky and country specific TLDs for serious things.
