If GeoIP insists on giving a specific lon/lat, instead of an uncertaintity 
how about using locations such as the followign as the "default I don't 
know where it is"

United States: 38.8899 N, 77.0091 W (U.S. Capital Building)
Missouri: 38.5792 N, 92.1729 W (Missouri State Capital Building)

After the legislators get tired of the police raiding the capital 
buildings, they will probably do something to fix it.
