.bq domain extension

The .bq domain is a country code TLD that was never actually used. It was assigned to the Caribbean Netherlands, which includes the islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba. The IANA record shows no sponsor or registry operator, and the domain is not present in the root zone. That means .bq has never been delegated and does not work on the internet. It exists only on paper as a reserved code. There are no eligibility rules because there is no registry to enforce them. The domain remains unassigned years after its initial registration in 2010.
