Is there a more accurate method to determine the country of origin for an
IP than the methods I've described above?

Yes, at least three companies have databases of pretty much all /24s and
above mapped up to a zip code.

These DBs are a joke.  I have /19's that are SWIPed to the billing
office but used in remote POPs.  No-one is ever gonna figure out where
they really are.

Wrong answer. 

Just because free public dbs dont have that info does not mean that it does
not exist.
