I've built a similar tool as a shockwave applet at:
http://jonroig.com
It not only sniffs the country, but attempts to sniff your exact location
and print a map.
.. an interesting excercise, I guess. If anyone wants the code (mostly perl
and shockwave), you're more than welcome to it.

if anyone (especially non-us cf people) is willing, please hit
this page: http://www.tei.or.th/misc/sniffCountry.cfm and lets
see if my locale idea holds up. i'd also like to see how many
strange locales i can collect & ID. thanks.
(before anyone yells & screams, yes i know that page is
delivering locale info marked as "country", working on
the countries now).
