Google automatically sets a geographic target for them to Montenegro and as far as I know there is no way to remove/change this default association.

Just fortunate for them. I was going to talk more about where the money is going from the sales of the names, but that's even less transparent than the auction system. If anyone has any information on that, I'd love to hear it as Montenegro is quite small and they're making a lot of money off this sale that could really benefit the country <b>IF</b> it makes it out of the hands of the government authority.

As for the assignment itself, 21 of a possible 26 dot-m-whatever combinations were already taken; Macau, Malta and Mongolia had already claimed some of the likelier candidates.
