Amazingly, I could not easily find one. I even tried to ping-scan IP ranges of Antarctica, but those hosts that responded did so in fraction of a second. Not much luck with North Korea (mostly down), Taiwan (internet is much better than it used to be) and several other suspect countries. (Though I'm not sure my tests are correct, since firewall processing of such long response times is one of the things I'm trying to find out.)

I haven’t tried such long delays, but FreeBSD’s dummynet allows you to create pipes with arbitrarily long delays, percentage of packet loss, etc
