First of all, IP addresses are global, by nature. So what is an
"IP address belonging to a country"?
This said, there is geolocation services that *do* tag a "country"
attribute to IP address ranges, based on what the providers document,
based on measurements ("1ms from Munich, physics says this must be
in Munich then"), based on ownership and company registration data, ...
So, if you have a server in .US, and get an IP address from .DE,
how's that going to work? There's a reason why this address is
geolocated to .DE - and if the provider starts routing the network
to .US, the geolocation services will notice ("latency changed!")
and change the country tag accordingly...
So you could rent a server in .DE, get .DE IP addresses, and tunnel
those to your server in .US - but in the end, the whole thing sounds
like a complicated way to make your life miserable.
