Yes, They are published in many places but one detailed list is available freely from: http://ip-to-country.directi.com/ This is in a machine readable format with updates. According to this list there are over 6600 ranges of IP's assigned in the USA and about 170 in China for instance. It's pretty easy to automate the translation of this database into iptable rules. As others have already mentioned, you'll have to think carefully about how much benefit this really provides and the problems it might cause. The database is more useful to customize web content based on the location of a visitor. It might be better to use the data to redirect foreign visitors to a different page on your site which explains why they probably won't find anything of interest.
