Why in the world would you want a name that isn't closely related to
your company or organization?  Admittedly, it's not clear why there need
be geographical tags to the province level, but the names are hardly
more meaningful than IP numbers so why not have some useful information
in them?

Actually, it seems like everyone else in the world has a country-name
suffix.  I presume the americans don't have a ".us" suffix because
they were first and didn't really need one at the time.  Do you also
think ".uk", ".au", ".de", etc. are silly as well?
