I've uploaded a [geo-ip] UserTag to my RTFM website.  [geo-ip] will
take a stab at guessing the user's country code.  The result is usually
correct, and the user can always change the value on your form if it
turns out to be wrong for some reason.

I made a couple of changes to clean it up a bit before uploading.
I hope it still works. :-)

Just modify your page to call that UserTag.  Use the return value to
initialise the country and/or b_country values.  You don't need to call
the UserTag if the country values are set already, of course.
