Country codes in Asia

Asia's ccTLDs range from some of the world's largest national extensions, such as .cn, .in and .jp, to small, tightly controlled zones. Rules vary widely: some require local presence and identity checks, while others are open worldwide. Several Asian countries also run versions of their extension in local scripts.
