If we continue to support and build tools around this geolocation based

Couple of things comes to mind.
* normal postage mail that they have to collect at their home and send
back confirming that they are indeed in the country from where their IP is
* Passports scanned.
* Fingerprinting
Or just get rid of the whole idea and realize that the internet is global
and reaches everywhere no matter what your IP currently is.
