Interesting that RIPE don't use the RIPE data…

The geoloc-frame places it in Norway while the Registry browser (on the same page) places it in US (which is correct)...
I'm not fully up with the rules, but wouldn't that need ARIN IP-Numbers? As others have already stated, maxmind (and the geoloc-browser) try to provide where the USER behind an IP address is. If I have no other data, this is the language attribute of the browser coming from that IP-block.
No, there are no rules concerning where the IP address blocks are actually used. But, I'll give you another example if that calms your mind. https://stat.ripe.net/93.93.96.193 Map says Oslo, Actual location is Amsterdam.
