Get country name in Admin Edit Order Page from customer IP

Woocommerce version: 3.2.3

Currently the Admin Order edit page shows the following details in the heading:
Order #440 details
Payment via Check payments. Customer IP: 5.39.114.85
See screenshot See Screenshot
Using geolocation from MaxMind GeoIP database would it be possible to add country name linked to the IP?

In this example, this IP: 5.39.114.85 points to
IP Address 5.39.114.85
Host 5.39.114.85
Country Finland
Latitude 60°10’14” N
Longitude 24°56’15” E

I understand that the IP information is referenced from
https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/387093cd27f097c71b2fcb4bfd73362d058c3ed9/includes/admin/meta-boxes/class-wc-meta-box-order-data.php#L209

with the following code

if ( $ip_address = $order->get_customer_ip_address() ) {
					/* translators: %s: IP address */
					$meta_list[] = sprintf(
						__( 'Customer IP: %s', 'woocommerce' ),
						'<span class="woocommerce-Order-customerIP">' . esc_html( $ip_address ) . '</span>'
					);
				}

This would help detect possible fraud in case there is an obvious mismatch between this country name and billing / shipping country.

I understand that customer’s using a proxy would render this useless but still it might help.

I also use GeoIP Detection plugin, if it helps.

Thanks a lot!
