The .name [https://www.icann.org/resources/unthemed-pages/burr-letter-to-dam-2003-06-17-en domain registration] at the [https://www.icann.org/en/registry-agreements/name/proposed-unsponsored-tld-agreement-appendix-l-name-3-7-2001-en 3rd level] works as follows:
Example: someone who wants to show that they live in the United States registers '''DomainName.UnitedStatesOfAmerica.name'''
In this case, .UnitedStatesOfAmerica.name, is the second-level domain (SLD) or .name extension, which can be used by anyone who wants to register domains that contain the name of the United States of America.
The third-level registration remains open and registrars such as Hexonet, Gandi.net, INWX, Public Domain Registry and etc... allow this type of registration.
