In the immortal words of Tim Devries (tim.devries@inquent.com):
Does anyone even have a list of IP blocks allocated on a national or regional level?
"None" and "none."
Afghanistan barely has working voice phone service, and the Taliban issued an edict banning all computers and most especially internet access several months ago.

It is true that you can not query based on the country code in the ARIN WHOIS database. However, ARIN provided a monthly report listing all IP Addresses and ASes that have been assigned and includes the country code. RIPE NCC and APNIC provide the same report, in the same format. The release of this report was through a coordinated effort of the three RIR, to help research the depletion rates of both IPs and ASes. This report lists only the upstream provider. So if Afghanistan has received IP space through an upstream, it will not be reported here. If you visit ftp://ftp.arin.net/pub/stats/ you will find these reports for all three RIRs. A quick look at both the ARIN and RIPE reports reveals there are no direct assignments to Afghanistan.
