This is excluded by RFC 5646, Section 3.4, item 16:

"UN M.49 has codes for both "countries and areas" (such as '276' for
Germany) and "geographical regions and sub-regions" (such as '150' for
Europe). UN M.49 country or area codes for which there is no
corresponding ISO 3166-1 code MUST NOT be registered, except as a
surrogate for an ISO 3166-1 code that is blocked from registration by an
existing subtag."

Section 2.2.4, item 4 says the same.
