     Thanks for that!   
      
     And thanks for the warning. You can't only end up with the wrong   
   country, but also with the wrong currency (for the correct country and   
   vice versa). Been there, done that, got the T-shirt (which I had to pay   
   in Australian dollars instead of in Euros).   
      
     Sadly the webpage only talks about changing your 'Google Play country',   
   but not how to  check what it's currently set to.   
      
     It's reasonable to assume it's the same as the country of the 'HOME'   
   address of your account [1].   
      
   [1] Strangely the 'HOME' address doesn't mention the country, only the   
   street address and city and shows a Google Maps picture of that   
   location.
