1) Go to GoogleBar Options. Toolbar Buttons or (within that) Custom Menu. just above checkbox for "Local" (pizza slice icon) is a gray earth globe with magnifying lens. check that to add My Country to your bar.

2) Then (still in Options) go to Google Searches, Google Sites submenu. 3rd pulldown (of 4) is Select My Country... 67 countries..."

Test. I tried out Canada. The button icon stays gray earth globe, but the URL's seem to be for Canada:
http_//www.google.co.uk/search?cr=countryCA&q=SantaClaus
915 results
http_//www.google.co.uk/search?q=SantaClaus
72,700 results, but nothing obviously less Canadian than the first search results.

http_//www.google.co.uk/search?cr=countryCA&q=Taxes
2,900,000 results and the first result is www.cra-arc.gc.ca
http_//www.google.co.uk/search?q=Taxes
72,300,000 results and the first result is irs.gov

So it appears Canada as My Country works.
