I wonder when some tiny country will decide to just turn their entire top-level national TLD into a url shortener.

This has been done: http://to./

HN: http://to./4dw2

Note that the 'dot' (in to.) is necessary to make the hostname absolute, so it doesn't fail in pretty much every browser. Otherwise, the URL should just be: http://to/

http://to./ urls are not recognized by twitter.
