My 1985 "Touring Club Italiano" (TCI) daily planner lists automobile
nation codes for 121 countries.  Spain is listed as E, which 
surprised me, because I thought they had switched to SP long ago.
The TCI doesn't say who determines the codes, but I suspect it is
some international federation, probably the FIA (Federation International
de l'Automobile).  Also, I know by personal experience that you had
to have a sticker with the country code to enter Switzerland: my father
had to buy one six or seven years ago at the border from Italy.

Some sample codes for countries that have not been mentioned yet.

Australia	AUS
Belgium		B
Cuba		C
Canada		CDN
East Germany	DDR
Egypt		ET
Hungary		H
Israel		IL
India		IND
Japan		J
Argentina	RA
Vatican City	SCV
Thailand	T
Turkey		TR
Uruguay		U
USA		USA (what else?)
Zaire		ZR
