I hate to tell you, but the North Pole is in Canada. So the top level domain would be .ca

What about .ca as the area covering the north pole is claimed by Canada?!

That's right. In fact real mail addressed to

	Santa Claus
	Canada, HOH OHO

will get there. 

He hopes to have email linkup next year. For santa@hohoho.ca.  Will take a 
while though. Depends on getting UUCP up over a shortwave link.

I must point out, that Santa Claus does **not** live in Finland,
Iceland, Norway or Canada, but

on Greenland.

I don't know if there is any top level domain specific for Greenland
??

Umm, a check of any related reference work will tell you that
Greenland is administered[*] by .... your own country: Denmark.

Thus, sites in Greenland that choose to use the country code form
would have names that end in .dk.

[*] "administered" my not be the right word.  It isn't technically a
part of Denmark, nor is it a colony, but, if you want to go there,
your first stop (after the psychiatrist (:-)) [**] is the Danish
Government/Embassy/Consulate.

[**] This is tounge-in-cheek.  The country is ferociously beautiful
(at least from the window of a 747) and I would like to visit there
someday.  The weather there isn't a lot different from that outside my
window right now.

Well, I'm aware of the political situation, see below.

Someone called Russel in Canada wrote to me, that there is a top level
domain called .gl for Greenland.

Almost everything in Denmark is small, except Greenland, so a list
over nodes in Denmark, using .dk didn't reveal any sites from
Greenland. That's why I asked.

In fact it is a modern kind of colony. Greenland have two
representatives in the Danish Parliament, and Greenland receives large
amount of economical support from Denmark. Many laws in Denmark is
valid for Greenland  too, in fact, it has to be stated in the law
text if it is not valid on Greenland and the Faroe Islands.

The police on Greenland and on the Faroe Islands are just departments
of the Danish Police.

You should visit it, I would like too one day.
