    domain is centralized and subject to a state power.

    is it possible to change that or any other workaround is available?

      Doubt it. Top level domains by country code were created explicitly for this purpose… for use by and to be managed by the corresponding state.

      There are some projects to create decentralized DNS systems, but almost no one uses them, so if you try to use them than you limit amount of your potential users drastically.

        it will be useful for websites that are intentionally made to be accessible to a small minority
