Meh. This just goes with the standard security best practice: Block
everything and allow only what you need.

Do I block China? Yep. Korea? Yep. Russia? Yep. Etc, etc...

Does anyone know of an accurate list of IP address blocks mapped to various countries? Doing a WHOIS after an attack or SSH brute-force attempt is rather reactive... this whole approach doesn't make the server any more secure, but 1) it limits the user of compromised machines in large emerging economies as attack launching points, and 2) it makes your logs much shorter and easier to read. :)
