I'm interested in getting data on bitcoin adoption by country. Is there a way of mapping bitcoin addresses to countries of origination?

Nate is right. But there is this tool:
which can help you see a particular currency's exchanges in and out of Bitcoin.
Euro, USD and Yuan are usually the most predominant.
It could be somewhat helpful, it is open and javascript based so you can see how it works.
That could possibly give you additional ideas on solving your problem.

No. Bitcoin addresses are designed to be anonymous and convey no information about the person or computer that generated them.
If you could somehow identify the owners of some addresses, then by observing transactions going to or from those addresses, you might be able to infer things about their counterparties. Then again, you might not. It certainly seems unlikely you'll get any useful large-scale statistics that way.
Can't you tell what IP address transactions and other Bitcoin operations (e.g. creating a new address) come from? – Cammy_the_block – 2014-09-16T23:21:09.160
