The government of the state of Schleswig-Holstein in Germany uses for most official websites the ___domain .sh, which actually belongs to Saint Helena.

- https://www.wir-bewegen.sh/ (Kickstarter for public projects, operated by the government; one example is "a 3D model of the city for blind people as map, publicly accessible next to the train station")
Many more such cases exist all around the world, it is... weird.
