What countries do you recommend blocking?

Well I just set up my first proxy(well... within the last 24 hours) and I was wondering which countries I should block and such, and what sites should I use to generate the blockage for .htaccess.

I asked the same question a while back and was told to block Iran, China and Turkey, and a couple of guys suggested using blockacountry.com to generate the htaccess file.
