As we know only developers from some countries can publish paid apps on the Android Market.

Could anyone tell how Android Market “knows” or detects the country of the developer?

I don’t think it’s IP. Simple example – what if I logged in to my developer’s account being on vacation?

Maybe it’s the country of my credit card which I used to made a Google Checkout payment?
If that’s the case what if I have several credit cards from different countries?

    So from my own thoughts and a little research done on this page I it seems that your developer’s country depends on the country of a Google Checkout account that you must link to your developer’s account to start receiveng payments.

    The Google Checkout account which you need to link to your Android
    Market developer account can only be linked once from within the
    developer account interface.

    If you are not located in any of the countries listed above and do not
    own the required bank account for receiving payments, Google may not
    be able to pay for the sales in that account by any other means.
