In an effort to be minimal and to support usage without exceptions,
XSD/e employs the "default-construct then assign" approach for
initializing  the object model. So you can do this:

CountryCodeISO x;
x = "ZA";

Or:

x.assign ("ZA");

If you would like to use a more modern approach with proper constructors,
then you may want to consider using XSD.
