Which countries does GDPR cover?

GDPR territory tracks the EEA. GET /bloc/eea/countries lists all 30.

How do I list the members?

GET /bloc/{code}/countries. Each member comes back with its name, flag, and calling code.

Member lists are effective-dated. An accession counts from the day it takes effect.

Look up a country group by code. The EU is not the Eurozone, and neither is Schengen. /bloc/eu answers the official name and the current member count, and /bloc/{code}/countries lists every member with its flag and calling code.

Twelve blocs: EU, EEA, EFTA, Schengen, Eurozone, SEPA, NATO, OECD, G7, ASEAN, GCC, and Mercosur. Member lists are effective-dated, so an accession counts from the day it takes effect. Every /country response carries a blocs array with that country's memberships.
