.fy April Fools' Day joke

.fy is a fictional top-level domain of Friesland, as provided on April 1, 2006, as an April Fools' Day joke by the equally fictitious Stichting Internet Domeinnammeregistraasje Fryslân (SIDF).

The reason for its own top-level domain was because it was felt that information in the West Frisian language had to be offered from domains where it could be read from the domain name that it was Frisian information.
