Peter,

I must have missed something here.

Are there not individual root domains for each ISO-registered
country, not just the US?  And, if there are individual root domains
for each ISO-registered country, are they all controlled by the US?

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...

        ISO 3166 is what you want.
