And it might be about to disappear as these are the Islands around Diago Garcia, the Chagos archipelago which was the subject of a recent international court ruling saying that it should be removed from British rule. As the islands would then join with other existing countries in the area rather than setting up on their own there would be no country to which to attach .io, and it might then have to go.
