I'm using GeoIP for geo location with django and it works fine - locates city, country etc. But what i want is to locate the country name if is searched the city name. Example:
Search: Madrid
Found country: Spain
Search: Paris
Found country: France
Is this possible with GeoIP and if it is, how?
Thanks!

It's not possible. GeoIP can only map IP to country/city, that's all.
You should try experimental Google Places API - you can use it to check in which country eg. Madrid is.
