This is in the center of one of the major cities in Norway, without any result.

The first argument is the longitude and the second argument is the latitude. You switched them.

Oh that is just in the example. Sorry. Some places near the coast are still not detected.

[RobinvanderVliet]

Maybe this happens happens because of limited precision in the polygon file? That seems to me like a logical explanation.

@RobinvanderVliet You are probably right yes.
If you get coordinates near a country border you will get the same result as me. It would be nice if we could have a "get_nearest_country()" or something. If the coordinates are like 200meters out in the sea, the actual country that owns that area should be the result.

Right now I have fallback code to do a online lookup if the result is empty. Works okay, but I would love to have a 100% offline solution.

I just tried it with a location in the Netherlands very close to the German border, and I received "DE" as a result.

Try this:
Only the last one works.

//around Stavanger, Norway
var_dump(\DaveRoss\OfflineCountryReverseGeocoder\get_country(5.641784, 59.037492));
var_dump(\DaveRoss\OfflineCountryReverseGeocoder\get_country(5.739792, 58.971404));

//in Sweden, near the border with Norway
var_dump(\DaveRoss\OfflineCountryReverseGeocoder\get_country(11.262722, 59.095614));
