Says a lot when you had to make a choice between a beautiful domain name, or having to trust the government of Montenegro for all your lifetime for a super sensitive e-mail service.

At least Montenegro is managing their own ccTLD, not like some mysterious islands (.io, .pw, etc).

But Montenegro has had hundreds of years of sovereign instability, i.e. it has been swallowed several times by other entities. I guess it was on .yu until the 21st century. It's probably stable for now, but nothing to say it won't get swallowed again and lose its TLD.

Montenegro is part of NATO. I would argue that mitigates the instability issue.

If we're going back hundreds of years then there's no ccTLD that is worthy, not the US not any commonwealth nation, nowhere....
