  I hate videos where the title is a question but could just be the answer, so I Googled the answer instead of clicking: it’s Germany’s country code, .de, which has 16.1 million registered domains. The next two are .uk and .cn, which belong to the United Kingdom and China, with 10.6 million and 9 million domains, respectively.

    Which is correct right now, but not historically. Which is explained in the video and how it came to that.

    If you had watched the video instead you would know that this isn’t really the point of it.

      Well that just makes the title even more pointless.

    The point of this video really isn’t to just give information, but rather to be funny and entertaining.

  I can’t believe they forgot to mention the Cook Islands, especially their commercial second-level domain!

  It’s .co.ck.

  The latest Map Men video is a bit light on the maps (there’s basically only one) but is still a fascinating look at how top level domains came to exist and not match the physical world.

  Their previous video, Internet Vs Ocean: the essential wires we never think about, is a good companion piece that describes the network of undersea cables that carry the internet across oceans.
