Block a country, will affect my ranking?
It will affect your rankings, in those countries. If you don't care about SEO or traffic from those countries, don't worry about it. We block most countries like .RU, etc. We don't want to sell anything to then, and we certainly don't want anything they have to sell

Sidewide footer links to latest blog posts
Hi Tran I can't see this being a problem at all. The content will likely be too small to be seen as duplicate across all of the pages, plus it will be constantly refreshing, so the content will remain relatively new. Furthermore, because the blog posts are hosted on the same root domain, it shouldn't be seen as spammy. If you were linking to 5 external sites over and over it could look a bit suspicious, but as its your own website it's no different from have a site navigation menu on the top or the side of your website. In other words, I think this will be absolutely fine and would even be a good user experience, so go for it!

SEO for 1,000,000 page site
Hi Steve, "Thank you! automated here means the API service which we are purchasing (IE: Flight schedule), we also add up more useful information to make it unique, so we strongly believe that the content is not only unique and useful to readers." I found find it VERY difficult for anyone to present a way in which this data above, described, can be unique. Sure, it can provide some value, in the same way that sport scores are updated on lots of websites. But does the content really provide value? Value means adding commentary, editorialism - something more - to what is already standard. If the concept is large enough, you might be able to pull some higher authority links into place, giving the project lift and wheels in organic results, and then strategize on further ways to build. I would be focusing initially on pitching the value of the site to older style websites and ancient directories, locating those through research and competitive back-linking. In fact, you should be prospecting and researching / bucketing this data now. At the same time, start creating stellar new content, publishing often in your blog so that the percentage of "truly" unique content is increasing daily. Hope this helps.
