Wrong, the main server is in Virginia so a federal judge can order Verisign to block your domain

What main server? They can block a Panamanian ISP from this country?

You would have to move out of the country, along with all your assets.

Verisign only operates the root DNS for .com and .net. There are other root DNS servers outside the US that would thumb their nose at a US court order.

Of course, the domain name would have to end in a foreign country code. And at this point, it would be difficult to move Free Republic outside the US and obscure the link with the current operators.
