========Limit Checkout to Specific Countries or Regions======
===== How do I know which to choose – allow or block? =====

You'll want to select allow or block depending upon the amount of countries or regions you're wanting to restrict to. If you're only shipping to a small handful of countries or regions, you'll want to select allow, only requiring you to check those few boxes from the list, designating that country/region as allowed. If you are shipping to most places, but just need to exclude a few countries, you'll select block and check off the countries/regions that you can't ship to.
