The .PW domain isn't really a country domain. It's being sold as a fake generic domain by Directi, an Indian registrar who has never been able to manage abuse by their registrants. Palau itself is a tiny US protectorate of 20,000 people whose few real web sites are in other domains. You can safely block all traffic mentioning .PW with close to zero chance of losing anything real. See my blog at http://jl.ly for a few more comments on the topic.
