There's plenty of non country domains too. Just make it into some acronym or have it mean I/O or whatever.

There are sure, but none are two letters because those are restricted to country codes. Specifically the ISO 3166-1 alpha 2

IIRC two letter domains are reserved for country specific domains, the non-country domains start with three letters.
