*Gasp!* The Great Cummings is.... incorrect.
/me faints.
Actually, ccTLD's are just the very last group of letters. For
example, .il, .uk, and .br. However, the ICANN, registrar policies,
or sponsorship requirements for some of them require the use of an SLD
as well. For example, .co.il, .org.uk, and .com.br, respectively.
Some ccTLDs offer the SLD options, but don't require them. For
example, you can register .co.in, .firm.in, .gen.in, or any other
available SLD+ccTLD, or just the ccTLD .in itself.
Still others have no such requirement or even official SLD
endorsements, such as good ol' Canada (Land of Clan Cummings),
Ireland, and here in the US.
