Using the free API service provided by ipinfo.io, you can add code into hooks for detecting the country of the current user, given his IP address. Here is how this code looks like:

  $country = 'Unknown'; // default in case country can't be detected
  $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
  $udata_json = @file_get_contents("https://ipinfo.io/{$ip}");
  if($udata_json){
    $udata = json_decode($udata_json, true);
    $country = $udata['country'];
  }
