Exactly, this system makes it very easy for you (or someone else) to build such a mod, using the variables that GLA provides.

GLA itself doesn't seem to add features by itself, it merely acts as a layer or additional information that other people can use to develop their own template edits or plugins. With your suggestion, it could be as simple as adding a plugin to run after GLA which just logs the country to a flat text file, or adding to the hook which fires after a member logs in could record this information just for members.

I should point out however that webstats packages like awstats already provide this functionality based on your web logs.
