Use outside Mongolia

The .mn domain name has been used to represent the U.S. state of Minnesota, such as by the Minnesota Legislature (senate.mn and house.mn), but such use is not official in the state.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Technically, Minnesota is assigned .mn.us under the .us locality namespace.

The .mn domain elsewhere outside Mongolia is used primarily as a domain hack, for example vita.mn (a play on vitamin). Another example is cart.mn (a play on the South Park character Eric Cartman, which redirects to www.southparkstudios.com, the official website of this animated series).<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
