Ack.
It doesn't work on Win98.

I will search the registry...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\User Location Service\Client

That's another one I found, but the value was GB not Great Britain.

It's suppose to be the complete String...
Maybe I'll work only at NT OS machines...
I'll search more...

I'm sure System would work somewhere for this?

ReadRegStr $1 HKU ".DEFAULT\Control Panel\International" "sCountry"

You could add a bit:
StrCmp $R0 "" 0 +2
StrCpy $R0 "Unknown Country"

Lobo Lunar, try with this:

Function GetCountry
        System::Call 'kernel32::GetLocaleInfoA(i 1024, i 6, t .r1, i ${NSIS_MAX_STRLEN}) i r0'
        MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION "$1"
FunctionEnd
