I don't think that you can. Sometimes IP allocations change. Just not very often. Unless you where talking about hard coding a Freenet key. However, I don't like hard coding stuff. Normally makes things break later. =) The IANA has a small xml file which is broken down by regional authority, which I think might be a good place to start. One advantage is that it is free and unencumbered, which means that we *should* be able to include it. (I will check with them). The downside seems to be that it doesn't go down to the country level (I'm still digging though it). The other way I was thinking was to put a list up on Freenet and then having some kind of user initiated download.
