There are legitimate cases where our geolocation fails, or a donor needs to change their billing address country to access a payment method not available from their country of web request. We need to provide some GUI feedback about the geolocated country, and provide a link to a new country-switching page, which allows the donor to pretend they are coming from anywhere.
Anyone coming in with an invalid or 'XX' country should be automatically redirected to this new page.

from @Pcoombe in email:
I've been doing some research into the problem where people were getting country=XX for their location. There are approximately 9000 instances in drupal.contribution_tracking (i.e. someone landing on donatewiki or paymentswiki) with country=XX from December. Almost all of these also had utm_medium (and utm_campaign, utm_banner) recorded as NULL, which suggests another problem. Could be bots/spiders? When you were getting the country XX pages, did you notice any of the other url parameters looking strange? There were a few instances of country XX with other mediums, but these are only a very small portion of the total. Sidebar: 67 (from a total of 34,594) Waystogive: 55 (from a total of 17,571) I looked at the distribution of country=XX over time, and it looks like it was fairly constant throughout December. No big spikes or drops.
We'll need to get an estimate on this to proceed.
@awight could this be related to the country = NULL that @MeganHernandez_WMF has been asking about?
