I've seen some third party gadgets (countryhawk) but I was hoping that I could so something with a standard bit of code.

Unfortunately there is no standard way of determining The origin of user. I have used a 3rd party free tool, which maps the country name from the IP adress. Dont know how accurate it is but it fullfilled my requirement.
If you are interested then search for GeoIP and you should find it..
