You are referring to the reports generated by some web-stats software.
It works as simple as follows - find the servername or do a reverse-lookup
of the IP (group as unknown if not able to). Count the hits for each
region and there we go..... They have a domain -> country table for this.
eg

.in 	INDIA
.it	ITALY
.pk	PAKISTAN
.de	GERMANY
.ru	RUSSIA
.su	USSR
.us	USA
.com	COM
.net	NET
...
