The reality is that there's multiple IP databases, and each operates
differently.
198.0.0.0/8 is an ARIN IP allocation, and even though the server's in
Japan, the IP addresses are allocated to a US company, in this case
Choopa/Vultr.
This is why some databases show the IP in the USA: they might look at
the first allocation after the RIR, which says "USA".
When I ran Tor exit relays on leased IP space, some abuse reports went
directly to me, but some went to the IP lessors, not realizing IP
leasing and reallocations are now commonplace.

I think tor and Tor Project use IPFire's DB for GeoIP lookups, and
198.13.48.219 shows the following:
NETWORK: 198.13.48.0/20

COUNTRY: United States of America

Hello,
I have a relay in Japan with the IP of 198.13.48.219, but it's being
marked as being in the US. I've tried using different websites like
www.iplocation.net, iplocation.io, and www.wolframalpha.com and
they're all telling me that the IP is in Japan.
I'm wondering if perhaps there's an issue with the GeoIP lookup? Or
perhaps an outdated database?
Thanks!
