Because a host ending in .gr is not obliged to reside withing the 
geographical boundaries of Greece (and this is true for many country 
TLDs).  Also, you have .com, .net, .org, .edu (and comming .inc 
.whatever) TLDs that are not bounded within a country.  This is the 
case for TLDs.

Now immagine this:

You have company A based say in Greece.  Now company A opens offices AB
in Bulgaria.  Should company A get another address space slice for AB 
offices, or should it use addresses from the A slice, assuming there 
exists a direct connection from A to AB?

Why make things more complicate than they already are?  The geography 
on the Internet is different that the "physical" one, which is the one 
the Telcos use.
