The the country of birth encoded on the chip?
It is not on my (somewhat readable) code, but I don't have a chip passport yet (will come the Spring and then I'll be using e-passport gates in the UK ALL THE TIME!).
If it is not encoded in the standard encoding, no software is going to work... You could have a Danish/Argentinian citizen travel to the US. Now where to start? Except Denmark pretty much does not allow dual citizenships (except in some cases by birth).
