World map stat counter update
It was over five years ago I wrote this stat counter (here and here).The world has since moved on, IP addressed have changed hands (and locations), and even the database format has changed. If you still have a copy of the old MaxMind GeoLite database, the old program would still work but if you don't - well, MaxMind has deprecated the old database format as of January 2019 and you cannot get a copy of it anymore.
However, MaxMind still offers freely downloadable geo-IP database, in a slightly different format (GeoLite2). I have now updated the world map stat counter to work with this format.
You can get the updated sources (along with 32-bit statically compiled binary), here. The GeoLite2 database is here and you need a "converter" (to convert the CSV file from network format to integer-range format) here. Then read the original articles and you should be good to go. The v4 has "2" appended to all the programs - ipgeocode2, preprocess2, etc so they can co-exist with the older version if you so wish.
