The database provider addressed this recently. Websites using Maxmind will reflect this change once they update their copy of the database. It is not something echoip has direct influence over. Once the new database version is pulled the issue will disappear.

You can see it is gone in the new version of the database:

English IPv4 address, no longer has EU flag present:

curl -s -u "ACCOUNTID:APIKEY" "https://geolite.info/geoip/v2.1/country/108.61.196.101?pretty" | jq

  "country": {
    "iso_code": "GB",
    "geoname_id": 2635167,
    "names": {
      "es": "Reino Unido",
      "fr": "Royaume-Uni",
      "ja": "イギリス",
      "pt-BR": "Reino Unido",
      "ru": "Великобритания",
      "zh-CN": "英国",
      "de": "Vereinigtes Königreich",
      "en": "United Kingdom"
    }

Compare with German IPv4 address that will show the EU flag present:

curl -s -u "ACCOUNTID:APIKEY" "https://geolite.info/geoip/v2.1/country/108.61.210.117?pretty" | jq
