The top-level domain is .გე (.xn--node), which are the Georgian letters gani and eni, representing G and E rather than an abbreviation of the nation's native name, Sakartvelo. It became active with active web sites in 2016.
Starting January 20, 2016, Georgia registered .გე top-level domains using Georgian
