Nginx block specific directory to one country

Question

I'm using Nginx and GeoIP to block certain countries (to the whole site).
Is it possible to block just one specific directory?

This way:

www.domain.com/
Everyone can access
www.domain.com/ES
Only spanish IP's can access, no one else.
www.domain.com/OTHER
Everyone can access OTHER except China.

(Countries used merely as an example)
Thank you.

And yes, I am aware that GeoIP isn't always accurate, but helps a lot.

Use the ngx_http_access_module and ngx_http_geo_module.

location /ES {
    # Enter the Allowed IP blocks
    allow x.x.x.x;
    deny all;
}
location /OTHER {
    # Enter the Denied IP blocks
    deny x.x.x.x.;
    allow all;
}
