You can now do lookup in RBL style to
<reverse-ip>.country-rirdata.dnsiplists.completewhois.com

For TXT lookups it will tell you country code and country name, i.e.
"US - United States". For RBL "A" lookups it will answer with 127.0.a.b
where a and b are ascii representation of 1st and 2nd letter of country code, so for example for US this would be 127.0.85.89
Small correction - for US its 127.0.85.83 (and 127.0.85.89 is Uruguay)
