The tiny New Zealand territory of Tokelau has a Internet top-level domain: .tk . While it uses .tk to create a small bit of industry for its 3 islands by selling domain names, it also gives of them away for free (minus some advanced services.) From the Dot TK site:

The primary goal for both Teletok and Taloha is to increase the awareness of Tokelau in the world, establishing relationships with larger corporations who can provide communication, education and medical expertise to the region and directly fund the island of Tokelau with royalty fees paid over domain names sold.
