ipwhere is a command line tool that takes a single IPv4 dotted numerical address as argument, and shows in what country and continent that IP address lives. The output is instant since the command has the full translation table (covering more than 104,000 IP ranges holding some 850,000 addresses) built-in and does blazingly fast binary searches in it.
Now also hosted on sourceforge. Go there to get the latest code off SVN.
This wouldn't exist without the wonderful service of hostip.info.
