I may be wrong, but I believe that Jersey, Guernsey and Isle of Mann (.je,
.gg & .im respectively) are not in ISO-3166-1 but actually in the reserved
list. 243 ccTLDs according to the list at IANA. 239 codes in ISO-3166-1 (and
some of them not delegated (Western Sahara for example ".eh").
Reserved list delegation is not the case for the majority of ccTLDs, but it
wouldn't be the only case either.
