The nature of teleport oeprations for geostationary operators is that the IP space an end user will be in is usually in some very mundane RIPE or APNIC or ARIN /24 that looks like it's located in Miami, or Brussels, or Cyprus.

This is complicated by the fact that an individual /26 sized block of space used by a VSAT hub operator for point-to-multipoint contended access c, ku or ka-band vsat might have terminals in many different countries.

A big portion of my Afghanistan stuff all used to meet the public internet in either Usingen, Germany or Singapore.

There are a number of satellite providers for boats/ships: viasat,

probably others I am missing.  I seem to remember that Maxmind and
others used some sort of ad-hoc country code like XX to signify an IP
associated with an area not covered by a country.
