First, it uses various HTTP variables to find the browser language, type, where you surfed from - i.e. what your IP address is (plus the referrer) - DNS is used to lookup the hostname from the later. Note that if you are using a web proxy (quite common in Corporate Environments), that IP address and hostname is what will be shown/used.
It then uses the Perl Module GeoIP2 and the MaxMind database to lookup the country and city information based on the IP address. Note that you can enter a domain name or IP address manually. BTW, there are more extensive databases that will provide more precise location data, but those cost dollars and this is meant just as quick-n-simple demo.
Javascript is used to determine all of the values from timezone on down.
BTW, the images of the flags came from the CIA Factbook web site and
here's a nifty map of the world.
