It doesn't seem to provide the exact functionality that you want, but it
might be worth taking a look at the Country code module (
http://drupal.org/project/country_code).

> a. detect the user ip and thereby the location and display that particular

> b. If the location is not present in one of the regions set in the website,
> use a default region.
> c. detect the browser language and render that identified region's content
