When you have the perfect name in mind, it isn't easy to change. Usually you'll end up adding pointless hyphens or numbers just to get as close as possible. To stop this, take advantage of the many names still available in US Government extensions.

Creating a Global Customer Base

Registering a US Government domain can help you create a global customer base. The way in which it does this is by using a ccTLD that the people will trust. If an individual from US Government sees a domain with .gov, they would be more likely to trust the company than if it was .com. It also boosts the ranking of the webpage on US Government search engines. An example of this would be with google.fr. It would pick up .fr domains more easily.
