there's an app called Frapprhttp://www.frappr.com/ that has a widget you can place. People have to join to be counted; I have forgotten about and hardly use it. But it shoes the geo-distribution of your friends on Frappr in a graphical map.
If you have Google Analytics or any decent stats tracking on your blog site, you can see what countries people are coming from. No easy way to make that public that I know of, other than by hand. On our Ning site, one of the profile questions is "Where do you live now?" and then "Where would you live if money, etc. didn't matter?" Sull - The country flag would be a cool plug-in. I wonder if WordPress has something like that? Seems not too hard - IP block = use this flag?? Does Gravatar keep location info or just photo info?? This could be a feature request for MyBlogLog which is getting more volume IMO these days.
