The different countries don't use a uniform scheme. For example, .uk
has a two-letter component (.co .ac, etc), but other countries do not.
I suppose the exact answer to your question ("how do I parse these
domains") depends on why it is you are trying to parse them. What
information are you trying to get from the domain?
