As I was reading the title I was fully prepared to see one of the Republican states name in the end

I'm pretty sure none of them control registrars

US states don't have registrars (four cities do however) and even .us is pretty much only used for domain hacks vs. a lot of TLDs that are actually used to identify country (which I've seen a few people criticize Americans over, but while I don't think it had anything to do with privacy as much as Americans just getting used to everything being .com, I think that's ultimately a good thing.)
