I’m actually not sure how much money I have, but I do know how many pounds of money I have. In saying that, anything that requires electricity to track a bar of gold is not going to catch on. What if I want to remint it into smaller 50 gram bars? Reconstitute it into a larger XX gram denomination? Is someone really willing to go out and buy a widget to do that?

I get what you are saying, however, Brazil(br) "hosts"-has it in- The Amazon; as do the other countries. I would expect a resolver to go to a top level namespace- i.e. a country that has people to run the infrastructure and not a river- and all those places scope out certain features contained with in them.

In my mind: .(root server) > (global feature/country/company) > (feature/host) e.g.

. > .br > amazon

makes more sense than

. > amazon > ccTLD.

I think a better example for your point would be `.ocean` as the logical way to divided it would be pacific.ocean, atlantic.ocean, etc. however no one entity "owns" the whole or said parts of the ocean and dolphins do not want to administer DNS servers. That said, naming things is hard.
