Why don't you just have a country field in your database that you can
search on (wouldn't have anything to do with the API)?

If you just want to get coordinates for someplace on the globe then
return the points within a certain radius or bounding box, you can do
that from the API, but again, it would probably be better to use a
database with GIS functionality to do the search.  That has been
discussed in this group before, you should be able to find it with a
search.
