Old news but not well known, as I've discovered. Most everyone knew about the 25 cents, but not this. We should all pay more attention.

There is no "per domain" fee for CCTLDs. ICANN tried to raise a domain name tax for CCTLDs some years ago, but had to abandon the idea after fierce opposition from the CCTLD community.

They should answer to UN. It should be international.
