I used to work for an IoT startup that really wanted the domain mq.tt. And in that era, Trinidad and Tobago's national domain administrator would only conduct business in-person, and required payment by international money order.
A facilitator was found, a deal was negotiated, and then the lawyers got involved and went "no way in hell will we let the company's primary domain renewal rely on someone walking a money order into an office in Trinidad". C'est la vie

Sad that the guys that had to break the news were legal and not IT, we need a set of balls, and basic legal training.
to be fair, I think all the tech guys knew it wasn't likely to fly, but they were all onboard to give it the old college try
