No, you can definitely block entire countries.

oh. So if I publish a website I’m responsible for following other countries/areas laws?

That’s exactly how the EU keeps levying fines on Meta and Xitter. If you make your service available in a country, you have to follow their laws. If you don’t want to do that, then you can’t allow people from that country to use your site. This really isn’t controversial.
