I need a URL for Ukrainians in Australia. Because I’m not a registered organisation, I can’t pick `.com.au`, so I’ll have to include the `au` portion in the URL. If it goes well, I can always migrate later to a proper URL.

Is something like `ukrainians-au.com` really bad idea? I read many times that dashes in URL degrade the quality of the domain in the eyes of both search engines and people.
