There are a number of newsgroup hierarchies outside of the Big 8 (and alt.*) that can be found on many news servers. These include non-English language groups, groups managed by companies or organizations about their products, geographic/local hierarchies, and even non-internet network boards routed into NNTP. Examples include (alphabetically): aus.* – Australian news groups ba.* – Discussion in the San Francisco Bay area ca.* – Discussion in California can.* – Canadian news groups cn.* – Chinese news groups chi.* – Discussions about the Chicago area de.* – Discussions in German dictator.* – Discussions about bad governance related to the Dictator's Handbook england.* – Discussions (mostly) local to England, see also uk.* fidonet.* – Discussions routed from FidoNet fr.* – Discussions in French fj.* – "From Japan," discussions in Japanese gnu.* – Discussions about GNU software hawaii.* – Discussions (mostly) local to Hawaii hk.* – Hong Kong newsgroups hp.* – Hewlett-Packard internal news groups it.* – Discussions in Italian microsoft.* – Discussions about Microsoft products pl.* – Polish news groups tw.* – Taiwan news groups uk.* – Discussions on matters in the UK yale.* – Discussions (mostly) local to Yale Additionally, there is the free.* hierarchy, which can be considered "more alt than alt.*".
