You should attach a sever warning with this advice - this is in general 
quite a bad idea. Setting Tor to exit from only one IP address, or a 
specific set of IP addresses - in this case, by geographical location 
(assuming that GeoIP is always accurate, which is not the case) - will 
single you out. This makes it easier to combine with other information, 
and fingerprint you. In the worst case scenario, this might result in 
removal of anonymity.
