On a serious note, if you're adept at coding or database design, please have a look at the GitHub issues regarding account and community migration (#1985 and #3075 if I remember correctly) as those things may be desperately needed.
This. There's a reason why "novelty domains" like .movies and so forth exist, let alone .org, .com and .net. National domain extensions are meant purely for things within that country. Reason being that domains are namespaces, which starts with subdomins, domain and then extension. It's purposefully designed like that. It's sort of more common to use namespaces in the reverse, like on Android an app might have the namespace:
com.google.Android.someUtil
Likewise, a flathub package might have the namespace:
org.dannyWhale.Vivaldi
Domain names are meant to let you specify the destination first by reversing it:
vivaldi.dannywhale.org
It's meant to contextualise your destination, and the source from which you stand.
Country codes are important paths to have, allowing similar domains in different countries and a directory for local businesses, government bodies and organizations. It's categorical and should remain as such.
Do not go off spec.
