Interesting question… honestly why?

There isn’t an easy way that I know of… but you can block ip address using a list of the address blocks for that country.

I’d think I’d suggest a vpn? Or I’m not understanding the context

For me it is China after I noticed that a lot of them uses some kind of strange client that always shows that they have 0 progress to get better priority from other pears. Later after I started to look into it I noticed that they do not even seed.

So you're going to block me too because some other people do shady shit?

Some people do it as a political statement. Blocking Israel is a real example I've seen.

For example, when your country could monitor your Internet connections to see if you access resources from a hostile country.
