Because cdn.d.n explains two letter codes as continental code.
I will modify to show two letter code in future.

Some months ago, I added ftp.se.d.o to act as both Sweden and Iceland mirror.
Maybe, http://ftp.is.debian.org/debian/ is CNAME virtual host.
Unfortunately, current cdn.debian.net can not support CNAME virtual host.

cdn.debian.net decides country according to client using DNS-server's
IP address.
Then, if you use DNS in US, cdn.debian.net return US mirrors.
When you use Google public DNS, such issues happen very often.
Mapping DB of IP address and country(and continent) depends MaxMind
which updates monthly.
