Hi Nancy, unfortunately blocking individual IPs and blocks of IPs does
not guarantee you're blocking a specific country. There is a GeoIP
Apache module that translates IP addresses into geographic location,
and happens at the web server layout. This is much different than the
built in IP-Blocking that happens in the drupal layer and is much less
flexible.

I would not recommend blocking blocks of IP addresses w/o Geo look up
information, as you're not guaranteed uniform IP address allocation
globally.
