This is relatively painlessly done in BIND ('named' in base system).
The tricky part is figuring out what country the addresses come from.
RIPE (at least) have an attribute called "country" for inetnum records 
but i don't think it is mandatory.
Different ranges belong to different registrars except for a few.
Be careful not to "spam" the whois services.
