Aye, get a database from Maxmind. The free one is decent, but the paid versions are obviously better.
I wouldn't just block them. Redirect them somewhere, (dialer, or AFF or something.) where you might at least have a chance at getting something out of them.

Simply add:

GeoIPEnable On
GeoIPDBFile /path/to/GeoIP.dat

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^XX$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.shitcountry.url [L]

XX would be replaced by the code for the country in question. If redirecting numerous countries to the same URL don't forget to add [OR] after each RewriteCond statement EXCEPT for the last one. If redirecting numerous countries, each to different locations, you'll need one RewriteCond statement AND RewriteRule for each.

Hey. List the countries here & maybe we can work something out.

I've got some uses for foreign adult traffic (European specifically).
