.pl

What this means

The root zone holds a DS record for .pl, so the extension is signed and anchored. A domain under .pl can use DNSSEC with a full chain of trust: it needs to be signed at its DNS host and have its own DS at the registrar. .pl is the country code for Poland; its registry sets who can register.

Length

DNS limits are the same everywhere: each label is 1 to 63 characters, the whole name at most 253, letters, digits and hyphens, not starting or ending with a hyphen. IDN labels count their xn-- form, so fewer native characters fit. A registry can set a higher minimum (often 2 or 3 characters) or reserve short names: that is in its own policy.

WHOIS and RDAP

Lifecycle and drop

Country code extensions set their own lifecycle: grace periods, redemption and release dates differ from country to country and are not covered by ICANN's gTLD policies. Read the registry's rules: https://www.dns.pl/en/.
