Sorry, but for the most part, IP blocks aren't assigned on a basis of nationality.  

The closest you'll get is: 

http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space

And anything in APNIC, RIPE, or LACNIC is probably not in .us.

But ARIN assigns netblocks in North America, including Canada and Mexico, and in Sub-saharan Africa as well.

Methinks you're out of luck.

BTW, why would you WANT to block out non-US traffic ???  (Not that it would work anyway, it's the classic "the Internet 
diagnoses censorship as damage, and routes around it. . .")
