I get the point...I understand why it is that delegated ccTLD adminstrators have been reluctant to sign a contract with ICANN. And I understand that the country of Niue would have to sign a contract in order to receive delegation of .NIUE.
So, given that all these extensions exactly matching a country's name are yet to exist, how do they come into existence without a repeat of the ccTLD situation (i.e. not dependent upon a single government)? This can be done. The ISO codes acting as sovereign nation TLD's are a mess, this is a given. The other method does not yet exist and represents the new opportunity. That's my point.

A country has no "sovereignty ... over the Internet" because the concept is meaningless. To the extent it has meaning, there is no precedent for it. Countries can regulate their citizens to the extent provided for by local law.
