It is very easy for a country to stop Bitcoin's network in my opinion. Countries with Nuclear power plant could easily convert electricity into hashing power and out-power the whole blockchain community.
In this case, i would say there is nothing we could do, this is the weakness of Proof of Work consensus. Perhaps we might need a new consensus mechanism that possibly protects the network from government attack.
