This looks old post. For upcoming visitors adding this answer.

Try to use httpServletRequest.getLocale().getCountry() this will return country name as string.

Another option to get more precise values like ISO3 country code, ISO language codes use below methods Pass the HttpServletRequest object to RequestContext(org.springframework.web.servlet.support.RequestContext)

RequestContext requestContext = new RequestContext(httpServletRequest);
String countryISO3 = requestContext.getLocale().getISO3Country();

It has many methods.
