Can countries select ANY code letters they desire ?

"Can countries select ANY code letters they desire ?
...since, according to the NEW IANA, it is "not in the
business of deciding...what code letters are appropriate
for a particular country"

@@@@@ http://www.iana.org/cctld.html

"The codes IANA uses are two-letter codes from the ISO 3166 standard. IANA
is not in the business of deciding what is and what is not a country, nor what code letters
are appropriate for a particular country."
