Reserve IP address in a specific region/country

Hi,
Is it possible to reserve an IP address in a specific region/country?
For example, that a "whois" lookup on the IP says that it's originating/located in a specific country.
Today when we reserve an IP address (from within a non-US/AU OCI region), a whois lookup says that it's an American/Australian IP address.

Here seems to be a way of finding public IP address ranges in a certain region:
$ curl -s https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/tools/public_ip_ranges.json | jq '.regions[] | select(.region == "me-jeddah-1")' { "region": "me-jeddah-1", "cidrs": [ { "cidr": "150.230.48.0/21", "tags": [ "OCI" ] }, { "cidr": "150.230.240.0/21", "tags": [ "OCI" ] }, { "cidr": "158.101.224.0/19", "tags": [ "OCI" ] }, { "cidr": "193.122.64.0/19", "tags": [ "OCI" ] }, { "cidr": "207.135.30.0/23", "tags": [ "OCI" ] }, { "cidr": "134.70.100.0/22", "tags": [ "OSN", "OBJECT_STORAGE" ] }, { "cidr": "140.91.42.0/23", "tags": [ "OSN" ] }, { "cidr": "140.204.34.128/25", "tags": [ "OSN" ] }, { "cidr": "192.29.112.0/20", "tags": [ "OSN" ] }, { "cidr": "192.29.224.0/22", "tags": [ "OSN" ] }, { "cidr": "192.29.232.0/25", "tags": [ "OSN" ] } ] }
But doing a
whois
on one of those IP addresses doesn't seem to indicate it's Saudi Arabian:$ whois 192.29.232.10 % IANA WHOIS server % for more information on IANA, visit http://www.iana.org % This query returned 1 object refer: whois.arin.net inetnum: 192.0.0.0 - 192.255.255.255 organisation: Administered by ARIN status: LEGACY remarks: 192.0.2.0/24 reserved for TEST-NET-1 [RFC5737]. remarks: Complete registration details for 192.0.2.0/24 are found remarks: iniana-ipv4-special-registry.192.88.99.0/24 reserved for remarks: 6to4 Relay Anycast [RFC7526]Complete registration remarks: details for 192.88.99.0/24 are found remarks: iniana-ipv4-special-registry.192.88.99.2/32 reserved for remarks: 6a44 Relay Anycast [RFC6751](possibly collocated with remarks: 6to4 Relay at 192.88.99.1/32 - see remarks: [RFC7526])192.168.0.0/16 reserved for Private-Use remarks: Networks [RFC1918].
