A 2	Counrty	Unused
.bv	Bouvet Island	Bouvet Island is uninhabited.
.gb	United Kingdom	Originally selected according to the letter code Great Britain (according to ISO-3166-1) was subsequently replaced with .uk.
.sj	Spitsbergen and Jan Mayen.	Not used, because these islands are part of Norway, but still present in the list of root domains.

A 2	Counrty	Deleted
.yu	Yugoslavia	The transfer of .yu servers to the new .rs zone, owned by Serbia, was completed in May 2009. In the .yu zone, about four thousand domains are still registered.
.bu	Burma	Due to the fact that Burma is now called Myanmar, the domain has been deleted.
.cs	Serbia and Montenegro	Originally intended for Czechoslovakia, the domain was withdrawn after it disintegrated. Prior to 2006, the cs code in ISO-3166-1 was allocated for Serbia and Montenegro, but it used the .yu domain. After the breakup of Serbia and Montenegro into independent states, the me and rs codes are reserved for ISO-3166-1 in newly-established countries, and the IANA has reserved the corresponding domains .me and .rs.
.dd	GDR	In connection with the unification of Germany, the domain was deleted.
.zr	Zaire	Zaire is now called Democratic Republic of the Congo.

.web	is allocated by IANA for use by private commercial registrar Image Online Design	In connection with public protests, the root servers of this domain were not and so were not connected to the common DNS system.

A 2	Common pseudo domains
.uucp	for gating to machines available with UUCP
.bitnet	to send mail to the BITNET network.
