APNIC, RIPE, ARIN and LACNIC store country information
on assigned ip network blocks like this:
-cut-
apnic|MO|asn|4609|1|19950615|allocated
apnic|KR|asn|4670|1|19950616|allocated
apnic|SB|ipv4|202.63.254.0|512|19950618|assigned
apnic|JP|ipv4|202.232.0.0|262144|19950618|allocated
-cut-
this is where the ip to country databases get their information
from.
