Weird because the USA top level domain is supposed to be .us, with that being one of the first country code top level domains.

It's my understanding that .gov and .mil were brought over from when those were independent networks, pre-internet.

Now do .com, .org, and .net, which are all part of US.

From Wikipedia for .com:

> The domain was originally administered by the United States Department of Defense, but is today operated by Verisign, and remains under ultimate jurisdiction of U.S. law.

.edu holds US-centric requirements today. Not sure about .org, .net, etc.
