How to create a map visualization from geom statistics?

I've constructed a query to show "users who logged in from outside the US" below:

| iplocation ipaddr | where Country != "United States" | geom geo_countries | search Country=* | stats count by actor_user_name,Country

This query is working and the statistics show :
actor_user_name, Country, Count?

Is it possible to make this data show up correctly on like a Cluster Map? Currently when I click on "Visualization" it shows a map but has nothing plotted.

@summitsplunk iplocation should give you country detail as well, there is no need for geom (you need cluster map and not choropleth map)
From performance perspective you should do stats first followed by iplocation and then finally geostats if you want to plot data on Cluster Map. Try the following search and confirm:

<yourBaseSearch> ipaddr=* actor_user_name=*
| stats count by ipaddr actor_user_name
| iplocation clientip
| search Country!="United States"
| geostats sum(count) as count by user
