.UK (Warning: not for over 40s)

Most 'Government' related sites are on .UK domains.

I wonder why the 'Royal Family' took the family out of their domain name. Genuinely curios about that. Maybe just a short/cleaner look?

Perhaps the .co part of .co.uk meaning company or commercial and .UK sits better with them?

If we're really talking long-term i.e. a scale of many years, it's also worth thinking what could happen if Scotland were to gain independence. Does the "United Kingdom" even continue to exist as a concept then? And if not, what would that mean for the .uk extension?

They can use existing .scot or create .jock
