I came across a thread asking why Countryballs/Polandball can't be looked up, and apparently the tag is blacklisted, or NFE'd.

Considering the kind of jokes that are prevalent in Countryballs, I can understand why it's NFE'd, but to which extent?

Is it akin to FNAF(A replica of the game isn't allowed, but a Freddy Fazbear dress-up game is). If someone just made a simple sprite pack of Countryballs, or a dress up game with Kazahkbrick, would that be okay?

Or is it akin to Squid Game(Stuff involving the series can't be brought up in any way, shape or form), and no Countryball projects at all?

yeah since how the community and the stereotypes (which I got sterotyped by said community so many times)

I'm asking if they're either partially(like FNAF) or completely banned(Like Squid Game)

I don't really care about Countryballs, but I have a few friends that do, and I'm asking for them.

I have a countryballs project on my old acc (imo its cringe now) but still, you shouldn't ban franchises simply because racist kids do them.
It's rejected anyways:

3.3 Ban certain franchises

Generally, the Scratch Team does not censor projects based on a certain franchise unless a large number of inappropriate projects were made with the franchise. An example is Five Nights at Freddy's; see this announcement for more information. In general, it is usually possible to make appropriate projects based on a certain franchise. Of course, you should always report inappropriate projects of any kind.

I would think it's allowed (like normal art of the balls with their respective flags), but you shouldn't use a lot of the stereotypes the community uses.

Since they are very much based around stereotypes - I suspect they are blocked whenever they are encountered.

So, it's completely banned, like Squid Game?

If they include stereotypes, yes
But the balls themselves (a ball with a flag and two eyes) isn't inappropriate

countryballs originates from comics where the spheres representing the countries basically had responses that were made from stereotyping the country's citizens, if i recall
that's what people use it more often for still

I would say yes. As far as I know, any topic regarding projects being taken down is closed. A ST member who said to use “contact us,” which probably means they're not going to change their decision.

You might want to ask a member of the ST because messing with stuff like that can get you banned to a certain extent. Otherwise it should be fine as long as it's not inappropriate, countryballs themselves was made for kids so I don't think it is totally NFE'd,

I don't think Countryballs was intended for kids, Kuna.
