Sometimes restricting access based on a user's country is the law.

Regarding the _rigorous_ CVS rights granting process, how is it that
new user http://drupal.org/user/701600 is rushed through that

banning countries from using a Drupal site???
The offending module: http://drupal.org/project/countryban goes
against all democratic sentiment and should be taken down
immediately, and this individual, who wishes to do the work of those
who would restrict internet access based on origin of country,
should have his CVS rights taken from him immediately.
