So to extend this further,  you assign a class of IPs to a customer and register it to them  in the RIPE database.
Do you assign it to the customers address, in Estonia , or use the DC Address which is in Germany?
Which could be the basis of geolocalizing the Address.
I would not want to be the lawyer on either side of the battle.

Question - if a country is not assigned to an allocation or sub-assignment, what does it default to within the RIPE region?

In the AFRINIC region, for example, it would be MU (Mauritius), as that is where AFRINIC are located.
