World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)
I retreived all cases based on geographic domain names. It appears all cases involving a geographic location (not a business with geography in it's name) were denied.

Why Mexico Lost Fight Over Mexico.com Domain Name
Under the arbitration rules set by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) for dealing with disputes over top-level generic domain names (.com, .net and .org), for a complaint to succeed, the complainant must show that:
1) the domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights;
2) the registrant of the domain name has no rights or legitimate interests in respect to the domain name; and
3) the domain name has been registered and is being used by registrant in “bad faith.”
