Lots of tech/geek-oriented sites have been registering domains in the
“.io” top-level country domain (ccTLD). This represents the British
Indian Ocean Territory. Trouble is, as Britain hands over the Chagos
Islands to Mauritius, this Territory will no longer exist. And the
usual consequence of this is that the corresponding ccTLD is deleted
as well.

Think about other domains like .su - they also still exist, even if the
state doesn't exist anymore.
If there are people willing to operate the servers and get money for
running the registry, I assume it will continues to exist.

Of course it will not cease to exist. There is loads of money involved so
rest assured that a government, non-profit or for-profit will be able to
snatch the rights to it, and continue to earn money on nothing.

Yeah, there are way too many popular sites and tech things hosted on .io
for it to be shut down.

Simple solution. Mauritius declares the islands the Mauritius Indian Ocean
Territory with the ISO 3166 country code IO. They are happy because the .io
domain revenue goes to them, and everyone with a .io domain is happy. The
only one unhappy is the shady guy who happens to get the .io revenue today:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.io

That works for things like the French Southern and Antarctic Lands (ISO code
TF, TLD .tf), permanent population 0.

I don’t think there is anything registered under .su any more. .cs (the
former Czechoslovakia) and .yu (ditto Yugoslavia) both seem to have
completely disappeared.

This TLD still exists and new domains can be registered.

They seem to be dead because no NS records exists for it.
Same applies for dd (GDR, but I dunno if that was ever in use).
