I'm pretty sure that this "include" line works, but...

...I suspect that you have another line somewhere else like "include
/etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;", and this file is also included at that point
in the config, and its content is not valid there.

Rename this file (and change the include line) to something like
geo_country.map, so that the name does not match the other include
directive pattern in your config.
