Any advice would be awesome! There is no inherent correlation between IP addressing and geopolitical boundaries.
Maxmind does not concur.

I've recently SWIP'd some IP space to see if Maxmind would pick up the new location. 48 hours later it hasn't (just via their free, web-based query tool). Perhaps I need to be more patient.
We did the same thing about a week ago, including a correction request with maxmind to no avail, hence this thread. I have a feeling our patience won't be rewarded...
Maxmind would have to violate ARIN's rules to collect your geoip information through a feed of whois data. Those rules forbid republication of the data. Try contacting them directly. Then download the files they publish and check for yourself. https://support.maxmind.com/geoip-data-correction-request/ http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/legacy/geolite/ When you've done these things and still haven't gotten satisfaction, perhaps then it's time to return here for a session of Name and Shame.
