You could use the Open Street Map reverse geocode API:

http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=xml&lat=52.5487429714954&lon=-1.81602098644987&zoom=18&addressdetails=1

Ore are you looking for other data than location information? Like timezone, spoken language, used currency, etc.? For that you would use the locale data and mesh it up with other services.

You can do it in two steps. First get the country code using the website described here and then try to convert the country code to locale - should be easy from here.
