Maybe geonames webservices can help you.

Example: Mouseclick on lat=47.03 lng=10.2:
1. call:
http://ws.geonames.org/countryCode?lat=47.03&lng=10.2&style=full&type=XML
 -> returns country code 'AT'
2. call:
http://ws.geonames.org/countryInfo?country=AT&style=full
-> Output XML:
<geonames>
<country>
<countryCode>AT</countryCode>
<countryName>Austria</countryName>
<isoNumeric>40</isoNumeric>
<isoAlpha3>AUT</isoAlpha3>
<fipsCode>AU</fipsCode>
<continent>EU</continent>
<capital>Vienna</capital>
<areaInSqKm>83858.0</areaInSqKm>
<population>8205000</population>
<currencyCode>EUR</currencyCode>
<languages>de-AT,hr,hu,sl</languages>
<geonameId>2782113</geonameId>
<bBoxWest>9.53591442108154</bBoxWest>
