Internet Country Codes - Domain Name Location
Ever wondered where .tk is? Here's a list of Net codes for top level domain locations, plus extra, infrastructure, alternative, private and redundant codes.
TLDs (top level domains) = country location or other main descriptor.
Note that the Internet country locators are listed in alphabetical order according to domain suffix, not country: for example Switzerland is .ch (even some Swiss people don't know that the common abbreviation CH found on car number plates and so on is based on the old Latin name for the area, [anglicised as] Confederation Helvetica).
Many countries use second-level domains such as .org.uk, .res.in -- these are not listed.
Restrictions = there are some registration formalities or rules to comply with. In the case of country TLDs, these are often residence or registered company qualifications.
Additional codes are lower down at the bottom.

csnet as per .bitnet
uucp as per .bitnet
local a local domain on certain Windows networks
internal as per .local
onion Tor anonymous proxy network
-----------------------------------------------
Alt. roots -- alt. root domains
Alternative DNS networks and ICANN alternatives, aka 'alt. roots'. Essentially, anyone can set up an alternative to the established and recognised ICANN system. However, such independent micro-networks are likely to be disorganised and unreliable; and there are often conflicts with the recognised system. These TLDs may or may not work, depending on a multitude of factors. One example, of many, is shown:
OpenNIC
.free non-commercial use
.fur furry-related sites
.geek geek sites
.glue sites related to infrastructure
.indy independent news
.null miscellaneous non-commercial sites
.oss open-source software
.parody parodies
-----------------------------------------------
Private root zones -- private root domains
Some organisations operate private TLDs. These may have limited access.
An example:
.nsa National Security Agency (USA)
-----------------------------------------------
Language testing TLDs -- testing domains
The IDNA TLDs are for testing, and probably temporary.
These 11 TLDs each have a word 'test' encoded in the relevant language.
