No, countries don't have ranges allocated to them. RIRs (ARIN, RIPE, AFNIC, APNIC) do, and then they distribute those blocks to LIRs (ISPs) in their coverage area. However, now with IPv4 block exhaustion, it's common to port old PI v4 address space across RIRs, or for RIRs to donate blocks to eachother, so there isn't any guarantee about address mapping to continents even. You can always use `whois` on an IP address from a command line to get all the public records about it that you need. This will have information about the RIR, LIR, and potentially end-user of the block. |
