There already is a geographically allocated naming system: ccTLDs.
Why would you reinvent the wheel? Do you think that there is
anything wrong with the ccTLD system? You do know that for the
ccTLD operators the current ccTLD system is a dogma?

Your proposal would require entire world regions to agree on gTLDs.
World regions already have enough problems agreeing on more important
things like trade, peace, etc.
