Amazon Mechanical Turk HIT Request from outside the US?

I would like to request an MTurk HIT task from outside the US. Currently, when I try to register I see my country auto registered as US with the following information :

Why is the country set as United States? At this time Mechanical Turk does not support Requesters from countries outside the United States

I found this solution but I am looking for other alternatives (using MTurk itself).

I used a US postal address and bank account to "register".

This is an old question, but I thought I'd call out that MTurk now supports Requesters outside of the United States (as of 10/18/2016, it's US, CA, GB, and AU).
