And it is in the US according to whois:

$ whois 66.79.167.34

OrgName:    Managed Solutions Group, Inc.
OrgID:      MSG-48
Address:    45535 Northport Loop East
City:       Fremont
StateProv:  CA
PostalCode: 94538
Country:    US

which is probably what the geo data is based on.

So, it is quite an international host ;)
