Block IP ranges and redirect using htaccess file

Hi I'm trying to block people from a particular country to view my website and I tried this

ErrorDocument 403 http://somewebsite/forbidden.html

The issue is that I am having a redirect loop. Based on my research, mod_rewrite would the trick great but I am quite new to htaccess mod_rewrite. Can anyone help?

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^196\.43\.194\. [OR]
 RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^41\.78\.144\. [OR]
 RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^212\.96\.
 RewriteRule . - [F,L]
</IfModule>

It isn't supposed to work for exact subnets though. If this is the server you administer other solutions like mod_geoip is the way to go.
