There's no short or easy answer to this - if there were, there would be 
lots of geo-ip databases available on the internet.

You would need to distil the information from a lot of separate sources 
(e.g. whois databases, detailed dfz routing dumps from multiple sources, 
pings from beacons to test rtt, possibly dns as a fuzzy input, etc).  It 
would be a highly labour intensive process and you would be left with 
large numbers of question marks.
