That's what I suspected. So you _are_ solving the wrong problem.

You have no way of knowing what country I am from, for any definition for
being from a particular country. In particular, you cannot tell it from my
IP address, especially not when I am travelling abroad. Trying to guess the
country from an IP range is simply nonsensical.

Besides, people often actually mean language when they say "country".

So think again. _If_ you really have some special content for people who are
from Borduria (the proverbial country, you know), simply put a link to such
content on your main page. Such as "Special prices apply in Borduria",
making this expression a link. Problem solved.
