No. Just because countries don't get assigned these values it 
doesn't mean that they can't be assigned by ICANN or the IETF in 
consultation with ICANN. 
I believe from both the IETF's and ICANN's perspective, 2-letter labels at the 
root are reserved to be associated with ISO-3166 2-letter codes. I cannot 
imagine a plausible scenario in which this policy would change.

And who *needs* a fake tld? As far as I can tell almost no one. 
Can we PLEASE not repeat the arguments made against RFC 1918 space in the 
domain name world?
