Okay, what state would want to pick a ccTLD that is a country in central Africa? That is where .st (Sao Tome and Principe) is located.

Looks like they're marketing it as street as well as state.

Actually .St is for Sao Tome & Principe, 2 islands in the South Atlantic ocean, not in central Africa!

Every form in the US that asks for your address asks for your 'St'! This may well be something. If I had the money I think I would buy somewhere like Utah though (only $250,000). Just think what a well developed website would be worth, a little local advertising and you would be away.

Good Luck to him/her, brilliant advertising platform.

Okay, it's actually off the coast of central Africa. It's just south of Nigeria. I read the location as quoted below from the registry website at www.nic.st.
