For users of Firefox, there's a popular extension called Flagfox:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5791

It uses a "geo location" service to approximate the location of the web server you're connecting to, and then displays a small flag representing the country in which the server is located. It's fun to click spam links in e-mails and see them resolve to Nigeria (I don't recommend clicking links in spam email unless you know what you're doing).

It's fun, and should give you some more insight into where you are on the Internet. It's also free.

Thanks for the tip. I've added it to mine.

I downloaded it aswell when a friend of mine - Coasterville - pointed out to me that the server for this very website... on the US flag - is based in AUSTRAILIA! very interesting ... and I had to see that for myself to believe it!... its quite cool though because I myself am not an American... !
