The FAQ list of top-level domains, has recently been distributed 
around Usenet and is available in news.answers. 

Modified extract of the document:

      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.

    Once released, this document, entitled top-level-domains ,  is 
archived in a number of archive sites around the world. Amongst
them:
