>What you can do is look at the last qualifier in the address. If its
>OTHER than "com", "mil", "gov", "org" or "net", its normally a 2
>character country code. I assume that somewhere on the web is a list
>of these codes but I don't know where it is. A few that I know are:
>
> ru = Russia
> us = United States
> uk = Great Britan
> ca = Canada
>
>If you see this 2 letter code (and can locate the matching country's
>list) the chances are very good that the node is located in that
>country. There are exceptions, and there is no guarantee that the user
>is also located in that country, as the user could be dialed in or
>telnetting internationaly.
>
>Most addresses ending in "com", "mil", "gov", "org" or "net" are located
>in the USA. "Com" are businesses, "mil" are US Military sites, "gov"
>are national, state, or local government bodies, "org" is usually a
>non-profit organization, and "net" is usually an internet related
>site.
>
>Again, there are exceptions, and again there is no guarantee that the
>user is also located in that country. Most of the exceptions are nodes
>that were established early, before the 2 char country codes started or
>they are multi-national organizations.
>
>This is to the best of my knowlege. If I have erred, I am confident
>that someone will be happy to point out my errors.
