To enable this feature go to your account in Cloudflare and select "Network" section. Under the networks section, be sure that you have "IP Geo location" set to on!
After this is set to on, every request will have additional HTTP header parameter: cf-ipcountry
which will contain country code of incoming request.

$request->header('cf-ipcountry');
in plain PHP, you could use get_headers() function:
