Most countries last far longer than any web site. Country TLDs are good for when you need an official website and not a nigerian scam site, because the country TLD usually doesn't allow those (never mind that at least here in Denmark, it has become normal to put official websites on some obvious scam domain).
What are language code domains good for? Large websites usually have a language switch, and blogs can be in a mix of English and the bloggers native language.
@leeloo @craftyguy @rust How long an "average country" lasts is fully irrelevant to the point. Public organizations are a horrible justification for country TLDs, .gov exists and it should be opened to non-US entities. The only actual unique purpose country TLDs serve is providing more local and unique domains and language code TLDs do that far better while actually communicating something about the website. Multi-language blogs already have .blog, commercial websites have .com
