I think you can use the LCID property www.w3schools.com/asp/prop_lcid.asp to establish what country they are in - or at least what country set up they have.

No, the LCID is no good to get a users country. You need to refer to an up to date IP address database such as:

www.maxmind.com/app/web_services#city (this is a paid web service)

Or create your own DB using:

tinyurl.com/cbmmh

or

www.ip2location.com/IP-COUNTRY.HTM

Just remembered, one of the Paypal guys wrote one of the IP databases to MySQL:
