There are some people that asked a similar question but I don’t want who gets raw revenue, but who gets the probably obscene margins (profits thus) from paying $10-20/year for linking a piece of string and an IP address?

Country-code TLDs are sponsored by the nation-state, but they still fall under the aegis of ICANN.

*Sorta. ICANN has a special relationship with ccTLDs. Registries of gtlds can’t put an A record at the root tld.
