Historically, two-letter TLDs have been assigned as ccTLDs. Regardless 
of what two letters happen to be unassigned, I don't believe it is a 
good idea to assign them.  IANA has adopted codes from ISO 3166-1 as 
two-letter ccTLDs, and there's nothing stopping the ISO from assigning 
EK to a new fledging nation.

I am not opposed to the idea of apolitical region-centric TLDs.  I am 
opposed to adopting two-letter TLDs for them.
