Well, this is a rather unusual geopolitical configuration. The European Union exercises many of the functions that a national governments normally would do. While other functions are exercised by the member states government.
The EU has an internal market, common law i many areas, common court, common external borders, common currency, parliament, etc. In many respects it is a country, in other respects it's not. The EU now consists of 450 million people.
Not many other - if any - geopolitical areas are in the same situation. So relax, Karl. Come to eastern central Europe to celebrate the latest EU enlargement instead.

Why have this rule? The more the better, I'd say.

.IO = Indian Ocean ? .LA = Los Angeles ?
What is a ccTLD ?
Can you define it ?
Is it a 2-letter TLD that has no market potential ?
Is .TV a ccTLD ? [owned by Verisign]
Note, .TV has wild-card names.

Karl,
There are already "violations" of the rule you state. For example, the Reunion Island is part of the French territory (.fr), but has its own ccTLD (.re).
The registry is the same for both ccTLDs.http://domaine.blogspot.com

Then, according to the very ISO3166-1, exit .TW and .HK (part of China now), exit .GG, .JE, .IM and .UK (part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland), and so on.
Why not exit all ccTLD related to territories? I am sure ICANN would approve - the masquerade ccNSO with European region composed of Cayman Islands and Gibraltar would immediately wanish ... (sorry .KY and .GI).
Did you note that such a rule is against the very wisedom of Internet stability and implies the geopolitics must be dependant on IANA rules?
The funny thing with our brilliant US friends is they get mad at the very idea the EU may exist and does exist.
