I'd like to know as well, but here is an example of gov't machinations:

"GAC Responds to Board on Geographic Names

28 May 2009

On 26 May 2009, the GAC submitted a final letter [PDF, 72K]

http://www.icann.org/correspondence/karklins-to-twomey-26may09-en.pdf

responding to the ICANN Board's concerns about the ability to
implement the provisions of article 2 of the GAC Principles regarding
new gTLDs, particularly paragraph 2.71. The letter recommends, as a
minimum, that the names contained in three internationally recognised
lists must be reserved at the second level at no cost to governments
of all new gTLDs. However, other issues relating to geographic names
at the top level and the potential misuse of the respective names at
the second level requires further discussion."
