A company called Webnet77 publishes a free IP-to-Country database which,

Interesting. I wonder why they put the country name, it is a quite
redundant (as one could just use a secondary table, which could be
localized) and it would reduce the download size (a bit).
I suppose it is too late, if softwares already rely on it.
