I need a new OID in the certificate. This OID is DC

The DC I want is the top level element in the Distinguished Name.
Ie. dc = cn, ou, o, dc

[ new_oids ]
# We can add new OIDs in here for use by 'ca' and 'req'.
# Add a simple OID like this:
# testoid1=1.2.3.4
# Or use config file substitution like this:
# testoid2=${testoid1}.5.6
dc=?????

I have a few questions.

1. dc=dc does not work. dc=1.2.3.4 works.

2. What should I put after dc in the [new_oid] section in this case ?

3. It works fine if I say 1.2.3.4 - where can I find out what it means ?

4. 1.2.3.4 reads as such in the certificate ! Unlike the others E (for
email), O (for organization) and so on ...

So, its obvious that I am doing something wrong or totally ignorant here.
Please help !

Regards,

Sandipan
