Beta and Final TC1 use the mirrormanager service to get a country code.
There's a patch to use the new Fedora infrastructure geolocation API,
though, which should give far better results:

there's an updates.img there you can try (not sure if it applies cleanly
against TC1, though). That'll probably wind up in Final if no issues are
found.
