Comment (by starlight):

 After a bit if digging I found the "current"
 version of geoip, which was built on Jan 7, 2015.
 It's found at

 https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/src/config

 and will presumably always contain the most
 recent version of the geoip files.

 On causal examination it appears to cover the
 new allocations in the above region, so this
 resolves the immediate operational annoyance
 of incorrect bridge country statistics.

 However I believe it is a serious bug that the
 conversion script interpolates unallocated
 regions bounded by same-country blocks as
 belonging to that country.
