Country designation

[Duston, Hal]

Bradley,

Well the one thing you could check would be the top 
level domain.

Remember that these can not be taken as gospel.

You could also take the ip address to the three 
regional nic's to see if that gives you any information.
http://www.arin.net/whois/index.html American Registry
http://www.ripe.net/cgi-bin/whois Registry Europe
http://www.apnic.net/apnic-bin/whois.pl Asia Pacific

More than that, would be rather difficult.
