I have registered all the most important extensions for my 'flagship' domain - for the purposes of brand protection - about the only one I don't have, which I think I probably should, is the .us extension

This is because I am not a US citizen and do not have a business presence in the US - so I appear to be restricted from registering it.

Is there any way around this?

I will not be building a website on the domain, if that makes any difference.
