What does error_log say?

When I try to write to a new file in /root/ as a non-root nginx user,
I see something like

open() "/root/default.log" failed (13: Permission denied)

Probably something like

map $geoip_country_code $mylogfile {
default off;
CN logs/access.log;
}
access_log $mylogfile;

will work, then.

"log normally and post-process" is always another option, of course.
