You need to install the php module and then use the following code to get the country name:

$country_name = apache_note("GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAME");

Answer 2

geoip_country_code_by_name can give you the country for an arbitrary IP address or hostname (not just the one from the current visitor as apache_note("GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAME") does), it uses the same MaxMind database. There is also the geoip_country_name_by_name function if you want the full country name rather than the ISO code.
