Tuvalu is an actual country (which is why it gets a cctld). Catalonia is an administrative division of Spain.

If Catalonia has its own TLD, why not California or Maine? If it's a català tld, why doesn't brezhoneg get one? Or cymraeg? Or võru, saami, euskara, söl'ring, cemhuî or ajië?

It's not Catalonia, it's Catalan.

Catalan is spoken in these regions: (spain) Catalonia, Valencia, Mallorca, some of Aragon in South-Eastern France a town in Sardinia (Alguer / Alghero) Andorra (a small country)

For the rest of cultural/linguistic TLDs... have they asked for one?

> It's not Catalonia, it's Catalan.

You may want to note that my comment had two clauses, and that this is handled in the second one.

> If Catalonia has its own TLD, why not California or Maine?

Politics.
