This is usually done with transport_maps and a "grave yard" server
that handles hard-to-deliver mail.

Simple example:
/etc/postfix.main.cf:
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
/etc/postfix/transport:
#key value
hotmail.com smtp:xxxx
Postfix does not know how to convert domain name to a country, but
you could set up a server that speaks the TCP table "protocol" (man
5 tcp_table), that does the geopIP lookups, and that replies as it
if were a transport map.
/etc/postfix.main.cf:
transport_maps = \
hash:/etc/postfix/transport \
tcp:inet:127.0.0.12345
