Comment (by neel):

 `ExitRelay` and `ExitPolicy` is for exit relay operators, not clients. I
 believe you are talking about clients.

 I think what you're looking for is `ExcludeNodes`. To exclude a country,
 you can use `ExcludeNodes {RU}` if you want to exclude Russian relays.
 Replace `RU` with the country code you want to exclude (e.g. `DE` or `US`,
 just put them inside `{}`). If you want to block multiple countries, you
 can do them in a comma-separated list like `ExcludeNodes {RU}, {US}, {CN}`

 If you are talking about exit relay operators, blocking destinations to a
 country would consume resources, and could lead to false positives as IP
 addresses could be reassigned, transferred, or even allocated to another
 region than what's in the whois (e.g. cloud/VPS providers, multinational
 corporations with their own ASNs).
