The country below is the country an IP database associates with your current internet connection. It appears without a browser location permission request.
Country associated with your IP
The country below comes from an IP location database, not your device’s GPS.

Data from GeoJS. Opening this page sends your public IP and ordinary request information to GeoJS. Read how the lookup works.
See the country on a map
The highlighted outline follows the country selected below. The map starts with the country associated with your IP when the lookup succeeds; you can explore another country without changing that result.
Choose a country to view its outline. The IP lookup may select one automatically.
Outlines: Natural Earth 1:50m countries, simplified for display. A small ring marks the representative position of very small features. Borders and islands are generalized; this is a reference map, not an official boundary record. The outline map loads from this site.
What country is this showing?
The result is based on the public IP address GeoJS sees when this page contacts it. The two-letter code is the database's country code for the same address. The nearby area provides context when city or region data is available, but it is also an IP estimate. None of these fields is a measurement from your device's GPS or a confirmation of your legal residence. The map highlights that country when its outline is available; selecting another country changes only the map view.
For a normal home connection, an IP country often matches the country where the connection is used. It can differ when a VPN, corporate network, satellite provider, roaming mobile connection, or proxy sends traffic through another country. Some databases may also lag behind a change in the way an address range is used. If the displayed country is wrong, check your network setup first.
How can I check my physical position?
Open the current location page and choose “Use my device location.” Your browser will ask for permission and return latitude, longitude, and an accuracy radius. Compare the resulting map point with a place you know. This is a better check of where the device is than the IP country, though the browser can still return a broad or mistaken point. This site does not turn device coordinates into a country name with a separate address lookup.
When you only need to know how a website may classify your connection, the IP result is the relevant answer. It can explain why a service offers the wrong language, regional content, or country selection. A service may use a different IP database, so its answer can also differ from this page.
If no country appears
A failed lookup means GeoJS did not return a usable response to this browser. It does not mean your device has no country. Reloading later may help. If the lookup works but the country field is unavailable, the page will say so instead of guessing. For a nearby position that you control directly, use the browser location button and read our accuracy guide.
Country, country code, and area fields come from the GeoJS Geo endpoint.
