I think you'd have to run the traceroute and parse what it returns to make
that kind of guess. Between the results of "host", "traceroute", and "whois"
(and the various country "root-zone Whois index by TLD" lookups) you should
be able to get a pretty good indication.
If you build the traceroutes and then use an AWK script to "compress" the
data it should be possible to build a GUI tool that will present the data
and allow you to click on the critical information and work from there in
a "semi-automated" manner. That said there should be a way to find out
what general physical location hosts 199.50.45.77, for example. But I doubt
even IANA has a clue when you get down to it. Nobody has really "mapped out"
the entire internet that I know of. It would be an interesting exercise to
get it even down to country code or city code.
