'COUNTRY'???  What??

My patience?  What do they mean?


Is this a joke??  My definition of cyberspace strictly lacks a notion
of 'country'.  (Yes, I know I'm obstinate.)  And I think the world
does not need anyone (not even Google) to program a mapping of IP
addresses to countries.

This is just ridiculous.  And this is what makes me stop using
services.

(Hopefully it's just broken web design (too much of this exists, too),
but how on earth does a broken web design produce the above text?)

Does anyone know what this means?
