How to web request filtering - block one particular country

My MVC-5 website gets a lot of false registrations, or real and followed by experiments in escalation of privileges. I can write a request filter - but how to block web requests from one particular country? Are there publicly available list of IPs that I can block ... or what? How do people approach solving this issue?

Depending on the country you might have a little difficulty in blocking everything but there are lists out there (such as the one maintained by nirsoft). Usually it's better to block specific IP addresses where the bad behavior is originating by using software that watches for the behavior and dynamically blocks it. That way you're covered regardless of where it originates. Especially since managing IP address blacklists is a real pain. I've made use of IPTables on linux before for this and it works like a charm.
