If you want to log queries from only the listed countries,
you may write the following:

http {
......
.......

geoip_country /etc/nginx/GeoIP.dat;

map $geoip_country_code $log {
default dev/null;
CN root/access-selected-slim.log; #"China"
RO root/access-selected-slim.log; #"Romania"
IQ root/access-selected-slim.log; #"Iraq"
IR root/access-selected-slim.log; #"Iran
HK root/access-selected-slim.log; #"Hong Kong"
IN root/access-selected-slim.log; #"India"
}

server {
listen 80;
server_name domain.com;
.....
.....
access_log /$log;
location / { proxy_pass http://12.163.169.32:80/; }

}
}


But note that access logs with variables in their names have limitatios.
