In the late 1980s, [[InterNIC]] created the [[.nato]] domain for use by [[NATO]].{{citation needed|date=November 2020}} NATO considered none of the then-existing TLDs as adequately reflecting their status as an [[international organization]]. Soon after this addition, however, InterNIC also created the [[.int]] TLD for the use by international organizations in general, and persuaded NATO to use the second level domain ''nato.int'' instead. The ''nato'' TLD, no longer used, was finally removed in July 1996.{{citation needed|date=November 2020}}

Other historical TLDs are [[.cs]] for [[Czechoslovakia]] (now using [[.cz]] for [[Czech Republic]] and [[.sk]] for [[Slovakia]]), [[.dd]] for [[East Germany]] (using [[.de]] after [[reunification of Germany]]), [[.yu]] for [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|SFR Yugoslavia]] and [[Serbia and Montenegro]] (now using [[.ba]] for [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]], [[.hr]] for [[Croatia]], [[.me]] for [[Montenegro]], [[.mk]] for [[North Macedonia]], [[.rs]] for [[Serbia]] and [[.si]] for [[Slovenia]]), [[.zr]] for [[Zaire]] (now [[.cd]] for the [[Democratic Republic of the Congo]]), and [[.an]] for [[Netherlands Antilles]] (now [[.aw]] for [[Aruba]], [[.cw]] for [[Curaçao]] and [[.sx]] for [[Sint Maarten]]). In contrast to these, the TLD [[.su]] has remained active despite the collapse of the [[Soviet Union]] that it represents. Under the chairmanship of [[Nigel Roberts]], [[ICANN]]'s [[ccNSO]] is working on a policy for the retirement of [[ccTLD]]s that have been removed from [[ISO 3166]].
