There is a ccTLD for the United States, it's just not very popular.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.us

And from what I can tell the second level domain com.us has been registered.

In any case I'm comfortable with gTLDs for the USA, at least as
comfortable as I am with UK being the only country not required to
name itself on its stamps.
