I don't understand

if Spain are ESP and the Dutch are NED, why are Germany GER and not DEU? And if we simply banned silly writing, China and Japan should be ZHO and NIH and Greece should be HEL.

There are loads of other anomalies too,tho the only one that comes to mind is CRO for Croatia instead of HRV. Are you only allowed to use your own country's name if the rest of the world decrees that you're cool enough?
