mapping IP to country ain't that easy

but actually not that difficult, provided you use some pre-formatted data from various registers, see http://ip.ludost.net

Well, I need a script which will get the users host on join (which I guess is easy enough), resolve it to their IP address and then perform a whois lookup or something on it and then announce to the channel

Code:

 <(IP)> resides in

So for example:

(16:42:46) —› join: (jps) (~tester251@host-87-74-9-115.bulldogdsl.com)
(16:42:47) (LamestBot) jps (87.74.9.115) resides in United Kingdom

Obviously it would need to ignore users who have masked hosts (like Quakenet's +x mode and some hidden host modes on other ircd's).
