If you have ever used firestats, it uses an IP database from here:

http://ip-to-country.webhosting.info/node/view/5

It's updated regulary although it is a pretty strange format but they 
give examples on how to extract IP's from the CSV database.

Not sure how useful this is to you but it is free.

Cheers
