I was little confused why some countries were included but not others. So it's clear why in addition to .su (split up) you'd be interested in .dd (ceased to exist after German Reunification) .cs (split into two countries) and .yu (inherited then later renamed)

But I was wondering why .pl was included but not .ro or .bg - after all Romania and Bulgaria were also in Warsaw Pact and had overthrown their USSR-backed communist governments. The reason is simple, apparently these ccTLDs just didn't exist before then - .ro was created in 1993 and .bg in 1995.
