Let me make some pedantic remarks about the terms used in this
discussion.

What you mean here is the ISO 3166 Part 1 (ISO 3166-1 Country codes)
and just the "alpha-2" codes (two letters).
[Part two from ISO 3166 is about subdivision codes. Subdivision
codes in Part 2 consist of alpha-2 country codes, hyphen and one or
more characters (as in AU-QLD for Queensland).]

The ISO 3166 term forthese code points is "User Assigned".
