Is there any reason to warrant this list? To call it arbitrary is being 
way to gentle. In fact the whole concept of listing IP blocks just because 
they happen to be in one country or another is definitly flawed by design.

Why didn't you list the number 1 spam sending country? The USA outranks 
everyone when it comes to sending spam/virus junk:

[US] United States:                       1269
[KR] Korea, Republic of:                   922
[CN] China:                                705
[RO] Romania:                              369
[BR] Brazil:                               353
[PL] Poland:                               344
[ES] Spain:                                280
[FR] France:                               274
[DE] Germany:                              234
[TH] Thailand:                             228
[IN] India:                                227
[TW] Taiwan:                               213

All of these had over 200 spam/virus related connections blocked in a week 
time.
