Are you sure Scotland is not on some ISO list of country names you cannot
register, as with .info? I think Jersey and Guernsey are, so Scotland
might be too.

But Scotland doesn't belong to you, does it? So why should you have it?
It belongs to the Crown. Be careful, since the Queen already filed a WIPO
complaint for one of her dominions. And that was the furthest away from
her throne. She may fight harder this time since Scotland is so close, and
brings in more tax.

Who has northernireland.com.cn?
