Software that tells you in what country is a given latitude/longitude

In what country are the coordinates 41.44241, 21.31530 ?

A manual Google Maps search tells me it is in Macedonia.

Is there a program (or library) that would tell me this programmatically?

Requirements:

  • If the coordinates are not in a country, it should say sea or something appropriate
  • For contested areas like Kashmir, anything is fine, I am not picky
  • Free
  • Works on Linux
  • If no library/program is available, a web API can be OK too but it must accept at least 50,000 requests daily
