No, there isn't. There are lot of 2 letter second level domains under almost
all TDL, e.g.

	es.net
	bt.com
	<2-letter-US-state-code>.us
	uc.edu
	
	co.uk
	ac.uk
	co.at
	ac.at

	....

In Germany we are just considering to install 2-letter-state-codes as second
level domains to cope with the steady increase of domains.
