Comment(by nickm):

 The "look for cases where the previous and next entry are in the same
 country" rule resolves 90% of the A1 entres in the June maxmind db.

 Before applying that rule, we put 0.57% of all routers in A1.  After that
 rule, we put only 0.07% of the routers (that is to say, 2 of them) in the
 A1 region.

 Attaching the toy script I wrote.
