homepage

While this might not 100% match the intent of this site, it was the closest match from Stackexchange sites.

So, if a web site (the "entrance" page) offers a choice (a list) of countries, with the text "Chose your country", but the users country is not listed, what should he do?

One example is http://www.samsung.com/countryselection.do

Addition: I ask this standing in the users position. I encounter a web site and it gives me the above page. What to do?

Another issue: What is "my" country? My current location? My permanent residence? The country of my citizenship? Something else?
