Allow player country override?
(In my opinion no: https://faforever.slack.com/archives/general/p1415097597000084)

Update GeoIp database?

Yeah that looks good. The db updater script is even written in python, so it'll be trivial to just run on the server and use sqlite to grab the data.

The database behind is http://www.maxmind.com/
But it should be better then the current solution ;)

Maybe we can download the database directly:

As it turned out, this was the same database we already used -- I've replaced the geoip implementation with one from PyPi on develop.
