[Request] What to do if we don't need the 'city' database ? #268

Hello all,

Our use case only involves the use of the country data from an ip. Example : 

const country = lookup(ip).country

We don't even need to query or download the cities database.

@bluesmoon would there be a good way to go about it ?

honestly, I'm a bit rusty on this. I think it should be possible to run without a city database, I just don't remember how.
