It is geography based. However, determining the true physical location of someone online isn't an exact science. One method that can be used is to take advantage of the convention we have of giving contries ranges of IP addresses to give out within their territory and some domain registration information. But this has problems, such as it being easy to fake an IP address using a proxy, or the fact that many IP addresses are owned by mostly U.S. companies.
Even CC and Paypal requires are not 100% reliable.
