Understood that Etc/GMT... don't correspond to countries. But in an API and for translation, it is useful to have everything attached to a country, even if it is a pseudo-country. That's why the suggestion in the document is to use ZZ for them, which is a private-use ISO country code, which can be translated as "no country".
I wouldn't use ZZ, because it's useful for AA and ZZ to lie outside the range of codes used. Rather, use one of the other private-use codes - isn't OO available? If I've misremembered that, then certainly QQ and QZ are. -- Clive D.W.
