Until today I thought that the most widely used second-level domain .co.yu stood for "Commonwealth", like in .co.uk.

It doesn't stand for that in .co.uk though? It is at least widely understood to stand for "commercial" - .co.uk, .org.uk etc., are meant to be analogous to top-level .com, .org etc.
And of course .co.ck, for commercial entities in the Cook Islands: https://www.google.co.ck/
I've found the perfect TLD for my new porn venture named 'hard'.
Get your head out of the gutter!

The .co.ck TLD is for serious business purposes, like crane rental companies, producers of integrated circuits, cloud storage providers, or maybe a lobby group for the carbon-based pigment industry.

Totally sums up my credos
Well it seems .en/.wa/.sc don't exist, (or I mean, whatever it might be, it could be .ab, for Wales it would be harder as .cy/.cm/.cr/.cu exist
Seems like a bit of an oversight when even the Bouvet Island gets a ccTLD, and all it has is a bunch of penguins.
