RFC2606 reserves test, example, invalid, and localhost, for "testing
and documentation," which seems to fit this use-case. 'invalid'
doesn't seem to me to be intended for use as a generic private TLD
though, as was suggested up-thread. However, if the OP is setting up
a private network, with no Internet connection, for a demonstration,
then any TLD at all could be used; a private root will be required
regardless.
