What is .fk?
A little context on Falkland Islands: the capital is Stanley, the main language is English, the currency is the Falkland Islands pound (FKP) and the international dialing code is +500.
IANA lists Falkland Islands Government as the manager of .fk, with an address in Falkland Islands (the) [Malvinas]. The registry's website is http://www.sure.co.fk. ccTLD managers set their own policies — who can register, which second-level names exist, pricing to registrars — so those rules differ from country to country.
On the technical side, .fk is served by 3 authoritative name servers, none of them with an IPv6 address. There is no DS record for .fk in the root zone, which means the TLD is not DNSSEC-signed at the top level.
