Country_specific blogger addresses.

Since in February 2013, Blogger start integrating users blogs with multiple country_specific URLs. For example, Blogname.blogspot.com would be automatically redirected to Blogname.blogspot.ca in Canada, Blogname.blogspot.co.uk in the UK. Blogger says by doing this they could manage the blogs content more locally so if there was any objectionable material that violated a particular country's laws they could remove and block access to that blog for that country through the assigned ccTLD while retaining access through other ccTLD addresses and the default Blogspot.com URL. However it should be noted that if a blog using a country-specific URL was removed it is still technically possible to still access the blog through Google's No Country Redirect override by entering the URL using the regular Blogspot.com address and adding /ncr after the .com.
