Well a bridge can only be used by someone who know about it. You could
only distribute it to people in that country, but, that doesn't stop it
from leaking to, or being discovered by, someone outside that country.

In theory, since there are DBs of what country various IP ranges map to,
you could use that to put something together. I am not aware of any
default available options to make such a restriction.

Though, in the past few days there has been an amusing thread on this
very mailing list about the use of these databases and how wildly
imprecise they are. It is not uncommon at all to get different answers
from different DBs.
