$ ls -l /etc/timezone
ls: cannot access /etc/timezone: No such file or directory

It is too obvious.

In GConf, /apps/panel/applets/clock_applet/prefs/cities has the list of
cities currently setup in the clock applet, as well as the current one.

You can then use libgweather to get from the timezone to the country
(Locations.xml has ISO country-codes for each country, under which
you'll find the different locations with their timezones).

And if you want to present the real name, you can use iso-codes to get
the localised country name from the country code.
