Governments do NOT define private property. Governments monopolize the
force by which private property is stolen, and force you to pay them
protection money such that they or others do not seize your property.
Governments are institutionalized protection rackets.

You create your property and/or trade your labor and property for it,
and it is your responsibility to protect it. If you default on your
obligation to claim and protect your property, you deserve to be looted.

Private property in any jurisdiction is defined the way the existing
government defines it.  So giving a private party ownership of a
top-level domain does not protect you from the situation where the
government collapses.
