I'm not up on this exactly, but my reading of the NRIC report says that
some ISO document has all the 'official' (for ISO I suppose atleast) 2
letter abbreviations for country codes. These end up in the ccTLD list,
and then in the root servers delegated to the proper ccTLD auth servers
for that 2 letter code.

The ISO list isn't a US owned thing at last I recall...
