No mirrors in countries on the same continent despite the world listing containing plenty European mirrors??

Spanish user here.
If I remove "COUNTRY=ES", I get all the European mirrors.

I didn't implement proper country lookup for COUNTRY parameter yet - just added some basic support for those countries in which a mirror exists:

https://github.com/openSUSE/MirrorCache/blob/master/lib/MirrorCache/Utils.pm#L74

But requests from some real Spain IP should find countries in Europe (because it uses GeoIP database), e.g.

https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/x86_64/0ad-0.0.26-1.4.x86_64.rpm.mirrorlist?IP=103.229.168.1

So we need either just extend that list with Spain and all the countries or find some better solution
(MirrorBrain did store countries in DB iirc, maybe MirrorCache should do the same and fill those structures from the DB at startup. Or fetch country - region map from the GeoIP database somehow. Or maybe there is simple perl lib with that mapping).
But I am not sure about priority since workaround with IP should work
