Given DNSSEC, that isn't really an issue.

The more interesting questions are "who picks?", "how do they pick?", "under what terms and conditions will service be provided?", and "how are those terms and conditions enforced?".

If they modified the root zone, it would not validate. In most resolvers, this would mean that root server address would get deprioritized in the list of root servers that get queried. It would essentially be as if they didn't run the root server.
