It seems it'd be pretty trivial to do on the basis of the country code
that's required in the postal address, no?

The costs of the EU privacy rules _are_ going to be passed on to
consumers.  I know that there are apparently rules that that is not to

trying to illustrate.  Conformance to the regulation imposes costs,
and they're going to have to be recoverd somehow.
