That makes me realize, what kind of country doesn't cobtrol it's dns space's encryption certificates. That's a major oversight.

What? What do you mean "DNS space"? Classic DNS does not have any security, no encryption and no signatures.

DNSSEC, which adds signatures, is based on TLDs, not any geography or country. And it is not yet enabled for most domains, though I guess it would be for google. But obviously EU does not control .com.

And if you mean TLS certificates, those are a bit complicated and I already explained why forging those would be problematic and not work on Chrome, though it could be done.
