geoip databases are basically manually curated when you get down to it. its funny that both geoip and bgp, the two definining forces in 'how the internet works' are all basically some scripts that deal with the easy 90% and manual work by burnt out network engineers for the last 10

we have https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc8805/ now but lol

Consumers of self-published IP geolocation feeds SHOULD perform some
form of verification that the publisher is in fact authoritative for
the addresses in the feed. The actual means of verification is
likely dependent upon the way in which the feed is discovered. Ad
hoc shared URIs, for example, will likely require an ad hoc
verification process. Future automated means of feed discovery
SHOULD have an accompanying automated means of verification.

RIRs should have done a similar thing to rpki imo
