Synopsis
Given the latitude and longitude coordinates this package returns the country code of the country in which the coordinates fall into.
The package internally uses @geo-maps/countries-maritime map with 10m resolution to give you the right country code. The accuracy of the map has been tested with 23785 cities but the demo allows you to actually test it manually by just clicking on the map to see what it returns.
