This is solvable by slicing your IPv4 prefixes into /24's and
assigning them the correct country TLD in the ARIN WHOIS database.
Yes, you might need to call a few geo-location providers to fix their
back-end manually, but this is possible.

Everyone should check out Massimo Candela's presentation "Geolocation
problems: Do we have a solution?" for how to provide your own
geolocation data...

I've seen it at recent RIPE and LACNIC conferences. Supposedly all of
the big geolocation providers support it or are planning on supporting
it.
