FYI, two letter TLDs are country/region/jurisdiction specific. There's an ISO standard for that.

.tv Tuvalu
.me Montenegro
.fm (Federation of) Micronesia

Some countries append additional modifiers to classify their uses:

.uk United Kingdom
.co.uk Company
...

Three or more are generic (traditional or new)

.com, .net, .org, ...

In some cases, Uncle Sam said "first!" and it stuck.

.edu Education (MURICA)
.mil Military (MURRICA)
.gov Government (MURRRICA)

Just like what happens with Mali, what some silicon valley hipsters decide as a 'fun' acronym is just that, a fun thought. If the corresponding government decides to take away a specific domain, they probably can.

What's a true fact that is so misleading it's borderline misinformation? in c/[email protected]

I've seen similar stuff multiple times, often with misquoted statistics. What many miss is that context is as important as stats.
