A third party developer has released the Locale CarrierID Plug-in as a paid app on the Android Market. Although not exactly implementing a “country” condition, I believe this satisfies @hypatia’s end goal.
Take a look here https://market.android.com/details?id=com.schmeisserweb.carrierstring

I live in Toronto, <200km from the border. I'm regularly in Kingston, which is a few km from the border. I spend time all over the US.
Cell network would be perfect - I swap SIMs when I cross the border. The whole point is to alter what number my gvoice account is pointing at, so detecting network, or current device phone number, would both work.

I tried doing exactly what you said and quite frankly it sucked. Canada and the US are /very/ non-circular and I spend a lot of time near the border :( Is it really so hard to query the geodata for just the current country?
