For .no, I reckon it's a combination of small population and the fact that you need to be a citizen to buy one. Until recently, they were only available to organizations. There's also restrictions on the number of registered domains you can have (100 for organizations, 5 for individuals), that limits squatting somewhat.

Small nitpick, but you need to be a Norwegian resident with an ID number (fødselsnummer) and a postal address in Norway, not necessarily a citizen.

You made me wonder -- what happened to ulv.no and sau.no?

Probably too politically divisive.

Nothing gets Norwegians arguing more than wolf politics.

We should control greenhouse emissions by releasing more wolves into shopping malls.
