And anyone can take the existing root zone, add a delegation and
sign the result with any key of they control.  If a government was
to remove a ccTLD I would suspect that there would be hundreds of
people offering such zones.

Additionally you can just graft on a tld and associated trust anchor
with existing validators if you don't want to regenerate the root
or if you don't want to trust some random person to sign the root
zone for you you can do it that way.

Removal of a ccTLD would cause short term disruption but the net
as a whole would route around the breakage.  We have seen plenty
of examples of this in the past.
