Tips: Searching Google for TLD Info
It's often hard to find info on TLDs via Google--it treats ".com" as "com," which will provide completely unrelated info.
The best way to search is by using the TLD, the country the TLD represents (if any), and any additional keywords.
Using the term [ bz ] will return results related to Belize, since it's a common acronym for the country.
Using the terms [ bz belize ] will return info on the TLD.
Using the terms [ bz belize domains ] will return info on different registrars for .bz domains.
Hope that helps

Malatya, what more information do you need?
Anyway, adding on to Dan L's useful information, one of the methods that I use to narrow down searches on Google is to use the "site:" operator, e.g., with "site:.bz", all you get is .bz sites; "site:.bz nic", usually brings up the network information centre related to the TLD; "site:.bz domain name registration", usually a list of registrars with local ties; and so on. Substitute .bz in all cases for other TLDs.

Great Tip. But, I wouldn't negotiate information off of Google as Crusaders said. But, Google's favorite domain name is .com.
