Just to be clear, this 'location' is hardly an actual location. This
locations are based solely on GeoIP data, that is know to be inaccurate
[1]. There are lot of ASes(ASorgs) that can span across countries. It's
getting even more complicated... But one shouldn't rely on this data as
being 'location' of relay (see e.g. 'Liberian' relay [2]).
