They don't manage on a few thousand registrants. There's a certain point where they break even, but most ccTLDs don't break even. If they are commercially viable (.tv), then perhaps they actually turn a profit.
But when you have about 5 registrations (Sudan), you're operating a loss. Now, most governments can afford to operate a ccTLD, even at a loss.
But if you give IOD or New.net a registry, and they can't turn a profit, then chances are the customer will suffer. The only registry accountability in that case would be to the bankruptcy court, not the domain name holders.
