It got the country wrong for me. I didn't use a VPN or anything. So that's good I guess.

Hm, wonder why that'd be -- it implies heavily that it bases the country on the IP address, which in theory is done by looking at what company the address is registered to, for the most part. Like I'm guessing it got my city wrong, because it used an address that the ISP provides for the IP range, which isn't the same as the city I'm in, because the ISP uses it to cover numerous cities around the broader region. I reckon if you're using something like Starlink, or other similar international-ish provider that may be very loose in how they associated addresses, it'd fail most times.
