Crazy TLD of the Day

.cat

The .cat domain is not territorial, but applies to the whole Catalan-speaking community, whether or not a site is based in the Catalan Countries. In order to be granted a .cat domain, one needs to belong to the Catalan linguistic and cultural community on the Internet. A person, organization or company is considered to belong if they:[2]

* already have contents in Catalan published online.
* have access to a special code (sometimes called ENS), issued during special promotions or by agreements with certain institutions.
* develop activities (in any language) to promote the Catalan culture and language.
* are endorsed by 3 people or 1 institution already using a .cat domain name.

How they ever got that through is beyond me.
