What is .jo?
A little context on Jordan: the capital is Amman, the main language is Arabic, the currency is the Jordanian dinar (JOD) and the international dialing code is +962.
Jordan shares land borders with 5 countries, so the ccTLDs next door are .iq (Iraq), .il (Israel), .ps (Palestine), .sa (Saudi Arabia) and .sy (Syria).
IANA lists Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship (MoDEE) as the manager of .jo, with an address in Jordan. The registry's website is https://www.dns.jo. 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, .jo is served by 6 authoritative name servers, every one of them reachable over IPv6. There is no DS record for .jo in the root zone, which means the TLD is not DNSSEC-signed at the top level. Registration data is published over WHOIS (the WHOIS server is whois.nic.net.jo).
Jordan also has another country-code domain in the root zone: .الاردن (Arabic).
