Why do certain countries have their own internet address endings?

Asked by TitsMcGhee (8281points) April 4th, 2009

I understand the .org and the .net extensions, but why do certain countries have their own? (For example, some web addresses in the Netherlands end in .nl instead of .com or something similar.) Why is this?
