I think the right way to do that would be using the GeoIP PHP API:

This way you don't have to ask, just give them the custom layout based on
their IP Address. Not without its limitations, but think about
human-induced error factor: it is highly unlikely that you will get an
honest answer from a visitor coming from Russia, India, China or any other
place that online retailers don't like much. They know for the fact that
they will be treated badly and maybe even denied access to the site, so
why bother answering this question honestly? It's so easy to just pick
U.S.A. from the list you've provided.
