Why does "per.to" make sense where "per.org" doesn't? As you say, it's just
a domain... So, why do SLDs under an ISO that tries to market itself as
completely apart from any geographical reference look to you any different
than SLDs under "org"?
Or is it that you consider your company to have good reasons to actively
distinguish its Tonga links?

Have they rejected any business queries for them to register
per.(everything)?
Maybe you object to them charging you for it?
If you don't like them, then I think that Peter Mott's "netregistry" does
something along the same lines, and I'm sure you could find others. Then
again the price of registering under as many ISO-TLDs as possible may be out
of the reach of your company (partially because of the cost, also some
registries will require local presence, others will require a local
registered name equal to the name solicited etc...)...
