For what it's worth: You as an admin don't have to follow COPPA, Wikia as a company does. You're still allowed to block people for being underage, you just don't have to.

What was the link staff gave you?

You can't rangeblock all of Pakistan because MediaWiki only lets you block ranges up to /16. /16 is pretty big, and you rarely ever need to block something that large anyway - chances are he's on one /24 subnet, or maybe a handful of /24s.

Block options you should be using are:
 * Prevent account creation
 * Prevent this user from posting on their own Message Wall while blocked
 * Automatically block the last IP address used by this user, and any subsequent IP addresses they try to edit from
 * Prevent logged-in users from editing from this IP address
