i wonder if ips are bound to specific geolocations?

lets say that i've got this ip 111.111.111.111 from my ISP to my home computer in France.

is it possible for me to use this ip in Norway?

and the same goes with domain names.

if iv'e got a domain name like mydomain.de, does it mean that my computer has to be in Germany or could it be located in Denmark?

cause i always wonder where the actual server is located every time a website got different top level domains, eg google.dk, google.fr, google.de and so on.

are they located in same country as the top domain or doesnt it matter?
