Suppose, today, particular IP address doesn't belong to any country, but
in future it can be assigned to particular country.
Before assignment, it is considered as missing (i. e. no country info
for it at all). When it will be assigned to country,
ASPseek will be able to find out country from online database by IP.
Also ASPseek will update info, if country of particular address will be
changed.
