@pauric - re hostip.info. My IP address is squarely placed in the
Irish Sea so probably would not come with the right country!

Speaking from the other side of the pond I would recommend sticking
to our official (abbreviated) title of "United Kingdom".

There are unfortunately several sites where you have to hunt down
what they have called us UK, Britain, Great Britain or four entries
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. We only use the split
listing when we want to enter more teams in sporting events  or
having our regular internal spats about control from London.

The UK has a very reliable post code look up system - our postal
codes usually refer to fewer than 10 homes - however it is a licensed
product so you would need a lot of customers to justify the cost.
