Dear moldovan,
I shall address your queries in the order in which you gave them.
+------------------------------------------------
+ .ne
Due to the undeveloped infrastructure of Niger, there is no set procedure
for registering .ne domain names. Various reputable sources state that
sole authority for managing .ne resides with the Société Nigérienne
des Télécommunications, or SONITEL.
La société nigérienne des télécommunications (SONITEL),
l'unique fournisseur d'accès (www.intnet.ne), avait bouclé le
dossier d'enregistrement du nom de domaine du Niger auprès de
l'Internic et a rendu opérationnel le n?ud national d'accès
au réseau internet le 13 novembre 1996.
[The Telecommunications Corporation of Niger (SONITEL), the sole
access provider, took over responsibility for registering the
domain name of Niger from Internic and activated the national
Internet access point on November 13, 1996.]

+ .ge
According to Georgian regulations, someone who is not a Georgian citizen
or a Georgian resident may only register one .ge domain name, and only
if rights to the name are formally assigned to a resident of Georgia.
1.8. Natural persons, which cannot be registrants are the
persons, who:
a) do not reside (are not registered) on the territory
of Georgia, or
b) are not citizens of Georgia.
1.9. A legal person which does not have a representation
registered on the territory of Georgia, has the right to register
one name under .ge and com.ge domains. In such case foreign legal

+ .nt
http://ask.metafilter.com/mefi/22862
The .nt domain has been obsolete since 1993.
ISO 3166-3 is an international standard that defines codes for
outdated ISO 3166-1 country codes and is part of ISO 3166.
[...]
The following list of obsolete ISO 3166 two-letter country codes
is included here for reference. Many of these codes were withdrawn
before the introduction of the Domain Name System, and so were
never used as top-level domains. In the list, the old two-letter
code is given first, followed by the ISO 3166-3 four-letter
code. For each code, the year of withdrawal is given. [...]

How can I register a domain name with an unusual top level?
I'd like to register a domain name that ends with "nt."
[...]
the short answer is that no -- you can't really do that, because
the TLD doesn't exist, thus there is no registrar, thus there
is no accepted authority for adding any .nt domains to the root
DNS servers -- and ICANN, whatever else they may do, ultimately
control the root DNS servers.

+ .al
Domain registration in Albania is governed by strict rules similar to
those in Georgia.
Registrations may be only for organizations having legal
representative inside the territory of Albania. Documents
proving the official registration in Albania should be
required. Applications for registration are distributed on
request by ART or can be retrieved from the Local NIC web sites.
The official representative of the organization should sign
applications. The registration of domain names is free
of charge only for public educational organizations. Other
registrants have to pay a fee of 100 USD for each period of
two years. This condition may be changed in the future, the
interested organizations will be informed in due time for such
changes, in this case the organizations may chose to pay the
fee and keep registered names, or do request their removal.
The applicant should define the domain name. Each organization
may have not more than one domain name registered under the
appropriate primary subdomain name. The name should be a character
combination being undoubted identifier or in connection with the
applicant. The document proving this connection may be enclosed
with the application.

+ .sm
Anyone who follows the San Marino domain naming rules can register a
.sm domain name.
In general any San Marino or foreign registrant can ask for
the assignment of a domain name on condition to comply with the
following rules:
[...]
Corporations
Corporations can ask the RA to be assigned a maximum of
50 domains per year, with the exception of individual
personal names (e.g. nomecognome.sm) thus avoiding
possible concentrations, dominating positions and
cybersquatting.
Private individuals
Private individuals, after exhibiting their personal
identity papers, can ask the RA to be assigned and
registered 1 domain name maximum.

+ domain parking
To park a domain, you must ask the registrar to set the Domain Name
Service (DNS) identifiers to those supplied by your parking service. For
example, to park a domain with Sedo, have your registrar set the following
DNS servers.
Primary Server Name: NS1.SEDOPARKING.COM
Primary Server IP: 217.160.95.94
Secondary Server Name: NS2.SEDOPARKING.COM
Secondary Server IP: 217.160.141.42
