No online service requirement means that you have to download and store the information locally. This is the most recent package I was able to find on here that uses a free data set available from maxMind. There is a newer version of the data set available and I do not know if this package is compatible with it or not, however the data set used by this package does still seem to be available as well.

    As additional information: Also based on Maxminds database are the solutions - PECL Geoip (a php module) - mod_geoip (a webserver module for Apache httpd; something similiar exists for Nginx too)

    I used Maxmind's GeoLite2 Country database recently. Its a good option for getting the country code from an ip. Its free. They also provide an update script for the database that you can run as a cron job.
