Here are two excerpted parts from a fairly recent posting. I don't
know how up to date it is, but Estonia (EE) and Lithuania (I forgot)
are included in this Dec. version.

Subject:      FAQ: Top-level international country domain names

Archive-name: top-level-domains
Last-modified: 1992/12/4

International Standard ISO 3166 Names
Compiled by Olivier M.J. Crepin-Leblond
email: <ocl@ic.ac.uk>
Release: 92.12.3

Release Note: a. I am including some domain names with a P tag.
                 This is either because I have not yet been able
                 to verify the validity of the domain, or that
                 the domain has been provisionally accepted but
                 not officially used yet or connected.
              b. New up-to-date experimental mailserver

      Every now-and-then there are enquiries on the net regarding
email to a distant country. The question is often of the type
"has that country got email access ?". The following table is a
guide of top-level country names, showing the countries which have
access to internet or general email services. The top-level country
codes have been derived from the International Standards Organisation
international standard ISO 3166, except for United Kingdom which should
be called Great Britain (GB) instead of UK. The field GB is used mainly
in the X.400 addressing of United Kingdom sites.
