Using HTTP headers to identify the country where a visitor comes from is totally inaccurate. My browser identifies itself with: Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5, while I live in the Netherlands where the main language is Dutch.


When you need a little bit of accuracy you can't avoid using an IP to country database.
