No, it's really not. All countries, including the US, have their own top-level domain reflective of their name and/or country code (the US, unsurprisingly, is .us). The others, including .net, .org, .com, and newer ones like .info and .biz, are not associated with any particular nation or language. They're intended for certain classes of organizations, but even this is rarely *enforced*, with a couple exceptions.
