acountry [options] (non-standard; no official syntax)

The acountry command is not recognized as a standard Linux utility in major distributions such as Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, or Arch Linux. It does not appear in standard man pages or coreutils packages.

It may refer to a custom script, a tool from a niche package (e.g., related to locale, audio, or geoip tools), or possibly a misspelling of commands like localectl for system locale/country settings or geoip-country for IP geolocation. No official documentation or binary is available by default.

If installed via a third-party package or script, its purpose might involve querying or setting country-specific configurations, such as keyboard layouts, locales, or telephony codes. Verify with which acountry or man acountry on your system.

Command not found in standard repositories; may cause 'command not found' error. Avoid assuming availability across systems.

Use localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 or locale-gen for country/locale management.
IP country lookup: geoiplookup from geoip-bin.

No documented history; absent from POSIX, GNU coreutils, or major distro changelogs since Linux inception.
