Dear Bashar,
The same. ISO 3166 documents every country (and administrative area). 
However, each Arabic country can elect its own polynyms (name and 
code instanciations in local language/script).
However, please do not confuse the test by ICANN with anything 
national or multilingual. This is a simple internationalised layer 
testing. It would be more interesting if the xn--TLDs were somewhat 
longers (measure of the impact on different programs) and confusing 
(I am in perticular concerned by the typos rate and the impact on the 
root's traffic level, etc. I understand the interest of a wiki 
application, but I would have prefered some web.2.0. applications be 
included to better know the impact of low TTL, international 
distribution, possible high typo rate, very long xn--TLD
