===Unused ISO 3166-1 codes===
Almost all current ISO 3166-1 codes have been assigned and do exist in DNS.
However, some of these are effectively unused. In particular, the ccTLDs for the Norwegian dependency [[Bouvet Island]] (<code>[[.bv|bv]]</code>) and the designation [[Svalbard and Jan Mayen]] (<code>[[.sj|sj]]</code>) do exist in DNS, but no subdomains have been assigned, and it is [[Norid]] policy to not assign any at present. Two [[France|French]] territories—<code>[[.bl|bl]]</code> ([[Saint Barthélemy]]) and <code>[[.mf|mf]]</code> ([[Saint Martin (France)|Saint Martin]])—{{As of|2008|alt=still}} await local assignment by France's government.

The code <code>[[.eh|eh]]</code>, although eligible as ccTLD for [[Western Sahara]], has never been assigned and does not exist in [[Domain Name System|DNS]]. Only one subdomain is still registered in <code>[[.gb|gb]]</code><ref>{{cite web|url=https://dnstools.ws/lookup/dra.hmg.gb|title=DNS loookup for dra.hmg.gb|year=2010|access-date=2010-07-03|archive-date=2022-08-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220808185902/https://dnstools.ws/lookup/dra.hmg.gb/ANY/|url-status=dead|language=en}}</ref> (ISO 3166-1 for the [[United Kingdom]]), and no new registrations are being accepted for it. Sites in the United Kingdom generally use<code>[[.uk|uk]]</code> (see below).

The former [[.um]] ccTLD for the [[United States Minor Outlying Islands|U.S. Minor Outlying Islands]] was removed in April 2008. Under RFC 1591 rules, [[.um]] is eligible as a ccTLD on request by the relevant governmental agency and local Internet user community.
